Poetry: Never Promise

We should do this thing
-When?
Uhm... how about this date?
-Are you sure?
Yeah
-Okay

Well I remember that conversation
But I'm not going to nag you
It wouldn't be precious if it wasn't voluntary
It obviously doesn't matter to you
If you forget

That day comes
I wait in expectation
Poker face
The topic is never brought up
No motion is made for that direction
Nothing about you indicates
A desire for our promised adventure
That day passes

I wonder if you even remember
I wonder if in the future
That promise will be fulfilled
I'll wait
I refuse to believe
That you lied on purpose

Ah, well
It was a dumb idea anyway
Probably better that it didn't come to fruition
And technically
You never did promise.
