The Moment

Every second that's passed,

I can’t help but assume

That your interest is gone

And will not resume.

I may text you back,

But I'm sure what I said

Sounded nothing like

What it did in my head.

And the chances of you

Sending back in return

A message that's more

Than a couple of words

Is nothing to hold

My breath over now.

There's no way you like me

This moment around.

So when my phone says

That a message arrived.

I'm shocked it's from you.

And I'm shocked that it's nice.

I'm shocked that you seemed

To like me back then,

One moment ago,

A moment I'll spend

Every day in,

Like I know it's the last

Moment you're interest in me

Hasn't passed.
