Penciled In

Two

Too busy

Too busy for love

Or so they thought

Push comes to shove

 

Too

Too little room

Too little room

For a ‘you and me’

Only enough room

For ambition to be

Too busy for love

Or so they thought

Togetherness lost

Push come to shove

 

But he was wrong

And wonders why

He pencils in

A time to cry

He schedules time

For loneliness

He plans to fill

His lonely nights

And how to undo

Wrong goodbyes

 

Two

Too

Too little room

Too little room

For a ‘you and me’

Only enough room

For ambition to be

Too busy for love

Or so they thought

Togetherness lost

Push come to shove

 

But she was wrong

She wonders why

She sets reminders

Now to cry

A calendar full

Of loneliness

She manages

Her lonely nights

She longs to undo

Wrong goodbyes

 

I am their friend

I know them well

They miss each more

Than they can tell

But I can

And status quo won’t jell

Together heaven

Alone in hell

 

So at each home

Reached for a pen

Calendars, planners

Penciled in

Some time to knock

Some sense in them

Some time for them

To meet again

The time needed

So they could see

Too busy

Need some time to be

The two that they

Are meant to be

 

I penciled in

Some time to be

Penciled in

Some time to be
