You call.
Days go by.
I'm still here
but I don't know why.

You stop in.
We chat about the weather.
You make plans
for us getting together.

I half smile.
The edges are rough.
Honestly it's just too much
and not worth enough.

You call.
Days go by.
Yeah, I'm still here
but I don't know why.

Oh! I know how that feels. Hate it. Nicely worded!

Know yourself before you try to know someone else.

Still here and don't know why.

Sure relate to that on a number of levels, not necessarily referring to a person. Why do we do the things we do?! For instance, sometimes I wonder why I just continue in my 'time rut...'  

Take care, Dixie.  Good to read you again...

Boy, does that say it perfectly, or what?

You are such a joy to read. You keep hitting my heart. How can you do that? Without fail, you keep hitting my heart.

Some habits are hard to kick! But I think you are doing better than most could in your situation. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for!

I always feel your writes.

Take care, Darlin' Dixie!!

Very poignant lines, dear Dixie. How often we wonder "Why?" ...

Love and hugs.
