Last Resort
Stephanie Patuleia 1989
You don’t miss me, you’re just bored…
If you’re running late, and you have a minute to get to wherever it is you’re going, and you think about me…
Let me know.
If you’re at work, busy as hell, and you know you have 2 minutes before the boss would catch you on your phone, and you want to text me…
Do it.
If you’re out running a million errands, or at a concert, or the movies, and I cross your mind…
Tell me.
If you’re sitting around, got nothing to do, no place to go, nobody to talk to, and you think about me…
Find a hobby.
