You waited for me to respond

1.. 2... 3..

As the hours hours passed you waited

I respond hours later

You talked to me with so much joy

I talked to you a word per message

If you're lucky, 2

You wanted me

But I'm always busy

You needed me,

Still busy

When you get mad about it

That's when I started to care

Then I hurt you like no one else has

We moved on but you still haven't forgiven me

I now wait for you to respond

1.. 2... 3..

As the hours pass, I watch for

"____ is typing"

You respond hours later

I talk to you with so much joy

You talk to me a word per message

If I'm lucky, 2

I want you

But you're always busy

I need you

Still busy

When I get mad about it

You shrug it off like you don't care

It seems the same but the only difference is,

I didn't respond because I was asleep

I didn't respond because I didn't have my phone,

You didn't respond because you didn't feel the need to

You don't respond because you haven't forgiven me

Forgiveness is a nice thing to do

But when it comes to me and you,

Forgiveness is a thing you can't give me

Because forgiveness is something you can't give to someone who doesn't forgive you
