I know where you are just by the day, by the time: which class you're in, if you're at work, the time you fall asleep at.
5:00 pm
Will you call me on your way to work?
5:25 pm
No.
10:00 pm
Okay, maybe the way back then?
11:30 pm
Oh, you've probably fallen asleep now. I understand, you've had a busy day.
8:00 am
No good morning text. That's alright. I've always preferred talking in person.
8:50 am
Maybe we will pass each other on the way to our classes.
10:00 am
The grass is your favorite shade of green. I want to tell you this but I don't.
1:00 pm
I wonder if you've awaken by now. I hope you're well rested and have fed yourself.
1:05 pm
I miss you.
5:00 pm
Will you call me on your way to work?
5:25 pm
No.
10:00 pm
Okay, maybe the way back then?
11:30 pm
No.
11:58 pm
Maybe you will tomorrow
11:59 pm
Maybe I'll finally get over you tomorrow
12:00 am
Maybe I won't
