3 Minutes
Our conversation was brief.
I wish it had been longer.
And had it been longer,
I'm sure I would have wished it longer still.
We hadn't spoken in ages.
-A year counts as an age, correct? -
I'd love to hear the story of how you chipped your tooth.
Our conversation was not short enough for me not to notice.
But our conversation was brief.
I wish it had been longer.
And had it been longer,
I'm sure I would have wished it longer still.
There wasn't enough time to ask you about your life.
-I'm not sure if you would have cared to ask about mine. -

- Maybe time has left it too decrepit to save -
We are not Rome, but I would've liked the day.
For our conversation was brief.
I wish it had been longer.
And had it been longer,
I'm sure I would have wished it longer still.
Even 24 hours seems minimalistic
- With all the questions I have to ask, all the adventures I'm sure you've had -
Perhaps I'm just greedy.
- Perhaps I'm just human -
I hope you've been well - you look well.
I ran out of time to ask.
