So make a short list and realize,
That everyone else is optional.
I need to get used to the idea,
That the people I've held dear,
I can do without.
Acquaintances, seems fitting wouldn't you say?
Away unless you're starving for attention.
It's not like I call you out,
On your indifference.
Have you ever thought about whether or not our conversations mean,
Anything at all?
Are we just filling in the hours,
Like we're fulfilling our roles?
So make a short list and realize,
That everyone else is optional.
I need to get used to the idea,
That the people I've held dear,
I can do without.
We used to be connected through circumstance,
Now the only way we connect is through happenstance.
