Send/Receive 

you've only been away for eleven hours 
you didn't call to say you got the flowers 
maybe you left 
before you said you would 
you always were an early riser 

or maybe you were 
just in such a terrible rush 
to catch your train on time 

I go online and give my password 
and wonder why you haven't answered 
the message that I sent last night 
hit send/receive and check the inbox 
I know it's late but I know you'll stay up 
I drop a line and hope you might 
hit send/receive 

I know you're awfully busy 
with your presentations 
and meeting with 
the heads of wealthy corporations 
I'm sure that in between your 
planes and trains and changing lanes 
you could find a moment to write me 

or maybe you were 
just in such a terrible rush 
to close the deal on time 

you didn't call at all today 
I'm not complaining 
from getting hold of me 
you seem to be refraining 
maybe you left 
before you said you would 
you always were an early riser
