Little Whispers

Exchange

Notifications on your cellphone replace the smile across the bar
Hoping that you're noticed as they're dancing in the dark
The nod of reciprocation are now blue ticks meaning 'read'
Pleasantries and questions just to get them into bed
Unsolicited images replace an offer of a drink
Light-hearted in your approach, you've forgotten how to think.
Rapid-fire flirting was the slow dance on the floor
To wait for "typing" is just the visual of waiting for a call
Instant gratification destroyed a patient World
Like cryptocurrency we trade words that are misheard
Resonating messages, are just a mating call
Shouting their opinions, with your back against the wall

Moves are made strategically like in a game of Chess
Rarely a connection deep in clearing up the mess
Assume this is a new foreplay selecting words sublime
Saying the right thing is the touch you can't get off your mind
Articulate intelligence puts a smile upon their face
Content there in that moment is the tight, naked embrace
Words chosen for the impact, metaphoric penetrate
Cheap talk, real talk, true talk, lies fool a heart until it breaks
Old talk, trash talk, brutal words, passion is so fake
Instant gratification killed the love we tried to make
