time is optional

Can you love me  
like you have the time for me?
 
Every summer we promise  
to catch up  
but you always find a reason  
to be somewhere else  
only to call when everyone else
has hung up the phone  
 
You give us stupid titles  
like "best friend soulmates"
and send me memes  
to let me know you love me  
but if I ever held a gun to my head
and needed someone to talk me down  
I wouldn't call you, babe
 
You're my fair weather bestie
and I'm your free therapist  
and every time I cut you off
you walk back in  
like my boundaries are optional  
(and let's be honest, they kinda are)
 
You say you love me  
but you only love me  
when I fit your schedule  
 
Another summer has gone by
and I didn't see you face
for the third year in a row  
 
But I know I'll see you again
when you have an emotional itch  
only I can scratch
