Last Seen

Last seen, twelve forty-one
(Twelve forty-one)
I dey read your silence like letter
(Like letter)
My message dey kneel down for your phone
(For your phone)
Last seen, and I no comot

I type am, delete am, type am
The truth too heavy for bubble
I send the small version instead
"How you dey" carrying whole ocean
One tick, the second tick follow
The ticks turn blue like sky
And nothing, just your last seen
Updating without answering

If you read am
Even vex na reply
If you read am
Even vex na reply

Last seen, twelve forty-one
(Twelve forty-one)
I dey read your silence like letter
(Like letter)
My message dey kneel down for your phone
(For your phone)
Last seen, and I no comot

Mmm, mmm
(I still dey here)
Mmm, mmm

I know wetin I do wrong
I no dey pretend say I forget
Your sister still dey greet me
Na small mercy, I hold am
I write the long version tonight
Every sorry with him full name
My thumb dey hover on send
Like plane wey dey circle airport

The long message send, delivered
One tick, two ticks, I off the screen
I drop the phone for the pillow
Morning go answer or e no go
Then the phone buzz once, small light

Typing... twelve forty-nine
(Twelve forty-nine)
Three small dots dey dance for my phone
(Dey dance)
The dots be like person breathing
(Person breathing)
Last seen don turn to online

Three small dots
Last seen
