time, another time

today,

i opened the mail
and
found a bright red envelope
containing a movie
a thriller

and thought
of him

and wanted to watch it
with him

i called
and
he was busy
busy with his list of
self-styled obligations
things to do
chores
and
ambition of productivity

"no, there's no energy
for socialiizing"
his tone implied

and i am left feeling...
content
with his reply

i do
want to see
and
i do
look forward
to when
there will be time

there is no scarcity
of time

there will be time
another time

i'm also feeling good
because
i want him
in my life

realizing with pleasure
i don't
need him

realizing with a smile
how much i
care about
him

there will be time
because
love is not binding
is not demanding
or possessive

love waits

and




love




is worth

waiting

for another time
