Typing Bubble

Typing Bubble

Museum cafe near closing
Ticket stub inside your sleeve
We have talked through two bad coffees
And forgotten when we planned to leave
You ask whether I believe in luck
I ask if you believe in signs
Then you laugh before you answer
And I like the pause more than the line

Chemistry is easy
Curiosity makes me stay

Typing bubble, then it disappears
Typing bubble, then you send still here?
I liked the pause more than the answer you sent
Typing bubble, and I am smiling again

Security stacks the chairs around us
We are still debating something dumb
Whether people can change their favorite color
Whether home is where you're from
You say I ask too many questions
I say you keep answering all
Then we notice every other table
Has been empty since the last call

That museum ticket is still in my wallet
Creased beside the coffee stain
I liked the pause more than the answer
Now every typing bubble does the same

Typing bubble, then it disappears
Typing bubble, then you send still here?
I liked the pause more than the answer you sent
Typing bubble, and I am smiling again

Typing bubble, then one brave line
Typing bubble, same place, same time
I liked the pause more than the answer you sent
Typing bubble, and there it is again
