10 minutes in between

Between crowded hallways and ringing bells, I whisper your name
I try to catch you, try to call out
but my words carry a longing drowned in the chatter
and you have already gone off in a rush
always running somewhere
but never running here

When the hallways become crowded and the bells are ringing
you are always running
and I am always left standing in the 10 minutes in between
