Give Me a Moment

I’m bored at home

And all I want to do

Is just to sit

And talk with you

About this or that

And the other thing

To laugh a little

Or maybe hear you sing

I’m not quite sure why

But I’m willing to try

Just give me a few moments

Or maybe two

To intrigue your mind

Or bore you the whole time

I’m just asking to know

And that’s why I rhyme

Your life is so busy

And I don’t want to bother

It’s just hard to tell

If you’d really want another

Message from me

During your busy days

I can clearly see

It’s better spent other ways

So please just reply

With a yes or a no

Mind games aren’t for me

I just really need to know

I’ll be leaving soon

Off on a trip for a while

And though I’ll be back

I’ll miss that sweet smile
