What the heck does that mean?? :-))

It didn't work timewise (in terms of time). (Something like that maybe?)

zeitlich ausgehen = i wanted to speak to someone but before i could the person had to go (had no time). so instead of telling her what i want to say i write her now. it was a wrong timing when i saw her, too less time...

Since you couldn't make time to speak with you directly (I'm sending you this e-mail) :-))
