He hopes to get a message on his phone
But all he gets are bubbles that are gray
He feels so isolated and alone
He does not know what he should do or say

He wants to have a chat with someone new
But he is not familiar with the rules
He tries to be respectful and be true
But often he just ends up feeling like a fool

He wonders why they never text him back
Is he too dull or strange or impolite?
He wishes he could have some skill or knack
To make them want to talk to him all night

He dreams of having friendship and affection
But he is lost in silence and rejection
