Cat & Mouse

It's a game of cat and mouse
Hide and seek
Where is he at?
Does he like me?
Will I notice his motives?
Try to run away?
If I do, he certainly won't follow
It's just a game to play.
Flirt a little
Then ignore
Days on end
"There's the door!"
Maybe I won't notice
He has 5 others waiting too.
Oh wait, he was just active!
Ah, that bird just flew.
Thinks he has me on a string
Waiting for his reply
Honestly he could rot
While his fake world just went by.
Just now he cannot talk
Must have left the house.
In this little game of his
Who is the cat, and who is the mouse?
