Yes they say they listen
Sure they say they’re there
They say I love you
And they seem to care.
But every time we glance.
We keep it short and give hope
“Yea Let’s hang soon alright? Yea”
Only the next text response
“Ah, sorry I can’t make it”
Its chill.
And I believe you
Mean what you breathe
But like a servant taking orders
I try to keep it short.
Yes, No, Um, Good.
Love spelled with a U
You spelled with a U
So much content
So little time
Microsoft said 8 seconds,
the average attention span.
So say it in 280 characters or less.
Maybe for eyes 60 seconds or less.
And I love you.
Like I. L.o.v.e. Y.o.u.
But I cut short my stories
When I’m with you.
Only include bullet points.
Fast, Loud, Makes an impact.
Bang.
I fight it.
I know I’m worth the time.
Longer than a quickie.
21 years of life.
Still, terrified of losing
Your attention.
I keep it short.
So you won’t have to say
I’m full
And just like that
Moves on
To the next content.
So times up
I’ve spoken too long
But I hope you at least
Remember my 8 seconds.
