I'm not ignoring you, I just be on my vlone
I don't text unless you cross my mind or I find the time
I promise it's nothing personal, I just enjoy real company
I can't show my love,
Value your presence,
Or express my emotions through this 6S
In fact, all this texting just kills my data

How about you call to link up?
Or watch a movie?
What happened to seeing me tomorrow and to get some sushi?
I guess I ain't the only one that's busy

I'd really offer to hang out more often if I wasn't ambitious
You know I fuck with you, I just prefer to hoop and work on my craft
These paintings won't finish themselves
And if these poems aren't done I'll get overwhelmed

Yeah, I don't even text you but like you, I got something to prove
If you keep being bitter, I won't ever let you cut in my line of priorities

One of the things a lot my friends find an issue is my availability. I'll be the last one they invite to party because I'll almost never make time for them. I rather sleep in and rest up for tomorrow than make some mistakes I won't remember. I'm really passionate about making something out of my life so that's where my head always is going to be at.

Make time for those who you find worth it. You don't have to be so driven and neglect people the way I do, as long as you aren't sacrificing your own needs. There is no true meaning to life so if you ever feel lost in between decisions, just remember to do what makes you happy.

You beautiful and have purpose, don't forget that.
