the text message

He sent me a text message saying "Remember, you don't tell time; time tells you." .  Trying to figure what he was referring too, I found my inner monologue repeating the phrase, as if I was reminding myself to not forget the words. "He knows me so well"  I thought, regardless of his purpose in sending me a text so early in the morning, (3;51a,m. to be exact) I could certainly relate to the message. Patience was never one of my character's attributes yet what does that have to do with the price of tea in china, anyhow? I've been wanting a lover in my life again, but my desire has found no words to be heard yet. So how does he know to say just that, when he's not inside my head?
