i'll lightly pencil you in
You write someone’s name in your schedule with the patience of a guy who’s been waiting for a train for 10 years. They’re going to vanish, and you’ll be left with a schedule that looks like it was written by a tired ghost.
I pencil you in so light, it’s like I don’t even believe you’re real.
Your name is barely on my schedule. It’s like you’re just a rumor.
I wrote your name so faint, it’s like I’m waiting for you to die.
