i'll lightly pencil you in
You write someone’s name in your schedule so lightly, it’s like you’re giving them a chance to not be there. You’re probably going to end up with a schedule that looks like it was drawn by a confused squirrel.
I put your name in my schedule so light, it’s like I’m giving you a free pass to vanish.
I pencil you in with the strength of a guy who just fell off a chair.
Your name is barely on my schedule. It’s like it’s waiting for you to disappear.
