busy..!

I see these lovers,
They can’t stand not being together
And we, haven’t talked in 6 months
We, haven’t seen each other in 6 months
We, haven’t touched each other in 6 months
I haven’t called you,
In the middle of the night, drunk, desperate
And you, didn’t drive up to my door,

unable to be without me
We haven’t run into each other yet
This city, feels more like a jungle now

or another planet
My shell is more comfortable than ever
My loneliness, is warmer than all else
People, are worse than they were
Yet better than they have ever been
Brighter, more real
Lovers, can not stand not being together
But I can stand not being with you

and being a stranger to
You, can stand not having me
Have you not missed me yet
I have missed you the way the sun misses

the Northern dome of the Earth
Then again,
I can stand being without you, it is part

of my nature
And so it is yours
We have left each other so broken perhaps,

that both of us are busy collecting ourselves
Too busy to miss one another
We have been so drunk on each other perhaps,

that both of us are too busy enjoying being sober
Too busy to not stand not being together
