Lunar lament

Description

This time it was me who was the ghost, one block over as you passed by. The courthouse clock said 4:25 and I would miss you by five minutes... there was no way I could go back there in time, but I tried... you were gone. Let's make arrangements like normal people, like you could call or text, instead? I can't afford so much time spent chasing after shadows while I get camped on in the daytime and tailed wherever I walk. I'd like to float the river, maybe meet for coffee - or with you, let's get in a plane together and fly away. But please, let's stop the shadow walking. The moon was beautiful, then the sun rose through a layer of smoke on the horizon, and I began my day with a nap. I saw one beautiful woman wandering home late, and today will have the usual barrage of people playing, but I'm still waking up alone. It's worth noting that those naysayers who are so opposed to adults playing together are not happy people. And I have a lot to do, but I could always make time for you. So why don't you just come to me wherever I am, whenever you want? Manifest. I'm done with the games that aren't fun anymore.
