Stop by, I said

for a cup of coffee

for moments of peaceful quiet

for silence

Stop by, I said

not for vague promises

nor for grand schemes

but for solitude in company

Stop by , I said

to peer into a text

to ponder over a word

to play within a play

Stop by, I said

not for convictions

or commitments

but for friendly banter

of nothingness

Stop by, I said

in the nothingness of living

to capture a few moments of togetherness

Stop by.
