didn’t everyone
use to call friday night
the official date night?
it’s now friday night
i’m at a mall
i see others
sitting and texting
i feel their hurt after
their texting ends
they stand up
and walk slowly down the mall
i guess whoever they texted
had plans
other plans
that would not include them
it has always been this way
that is . . .
lonely people
looking for someone
to pass the hours with
during the weekends
