The television blared at a volume
|
|
That I could hardly handle,
|
|
But you were sound asleep
|
|
As if such sounds could hold no candle
|
|
To whatever sublime sounds
|
|
Your subconscious wished to hear;
|
|
So I watched the rest, and watched you rest,
|
|
As I sipped another beer.
|
|
|
|
There goes another little memory
|
|
That neither of us can share.
|
|
If I add mine up,
|
|
And add yours up,
|
|
Will it be enough to care?
|
|
|
|
My smartphone delivered multimedia
|
|
Directly into my eyes and ears
|
|
Until the audiovisual stimuli
|
|
Had me breaking out in tears;
|
|
So I wished to share this moment
|
|
But could only share with you a link
|
|
And received a couple of emoticons
|
|
To reveal what you felt and think.
|
|
|
|
There goes another little memory
|
|
That neither of us can share.
|
|
If I add mine up,
|
|
And add yours up,
|
|
Will it be enough to care?
|
|
|
|
You spoke to me at length on a subject
|
|
That you enjoy with such a passion,
|
|
But I zoned out a few sentences in
|
|
And responded with the most minimal interaction
|
|
Until I found a moment to break free
|
|
And sought out someone who'd share the stage;
|
|
We talked at length about cybersecurity
|
|
But I didn't realize you were disengaged.
|
|
|
|
There goes another little memory
|
|
That neither of us can share.
|
|
If I add mine up,
|
|
And add yours up,
|
|
Will it be enough to care?
