Modern Dating
I refuse
to watch
someone play
on their phone,
play video games,
watch tv,
and get loaded
every night.
Make time
in your schedule
for me,
and I'll show up.
If your idea
of a date
is to take a selfie
and then
send it out
to 20 friends
while I eat
in silence,
don't blame me
for not showing up.
If we go
to your family's house
every holiday,
and I end up
reading a book
while you
and your sister
go shopping,
don't think
I want to do
that more.
I shouldn't be
lonelier
with you
than without you.
