The First

Sometimes when we are on the phone and I have another call on the other line sometimes I don't even bother to pick it up.
But when you receive a call you jump at the chance to find out who it is and then you return with a "I've got to go!  Call me back in a few minutes!"

Sometimes when I see you online I jump at the chance to talk to you and I cease to talk to whoever it was I was talking to before you.
But then I locate you and find out you're in some chat room...or in a private room where I can't follow.

Sometimes when I'm talking to you I immediately begin to gush and I'm overwhelemed with excitement.
But then you begin your response and it's clear you weren't paying any attention to anything I had just said.

Sometimes when we go out I feel so over-joyed to be with you.
But then I look at you and I realize/get the feeling that you're probably only out with me because you had nothing better to do that night.

I don't know how this happened.
And I have no idea how I got this pathetic.

Somewhere along the line you became my first priority
And I became your last.
