someone calls and i can't take the call
someone writes and i am unable to write back
someone wants a time with me and i can't make the time
not that i intend to put them off
just that i am tied to earlier commitments and this will stretch my energies
but too shy to say so, i resort to the easy, 'i am busy just now' excuse
and then this happens once too often
then people whose call i couldn't take, meet
people whose mails i didn't respond to, and confer with
the person i couldn't make time to meet
and conclude that i am way too 'busy'!
now, people don't call or write or want to meet
as they know i am 'busy' and when i reach out
seeking to catch up with a friend or wanting to share something,
all that i get to hear is 'but, i thought you were busy'!!
