A Millennial Love Story

A Millennial Love Story
Pogo- Forget

Each and every single day,
I get better at the games we play.

Content to sound out your body language
and able to interpret social strangeness.

Ready to quote a song if need be
or do something I saw on TV.

Able to be around when you need me
Or on Facebook where you can't see me.

Ready to love a computer screen away
and learn to text what I really want to say.

Being alone at a table for two
with both of us having phone business to do.

Swiping right in the hopes that you'll say
I'm worth a hello in some way.

Knowing the difference between whats sincere or material
and feeling the difference in whats real or ethereal.

I get better at the games we play
each and every single day.

Yet I still find myself wishing
that I wasn't so conditioned.

To be content with a text on the phone.

When I'd rather be with you alone...
