I sit there
Silently
I wait for the other end of the line to ring
Hearing the ringing brings such joy to my heart
I'm waiting for you
For you to pick up the phone
To say hello
To make everything seem ok

Just for this moment in time
I want to hear your voice
I know that it would make me feel whole
Everything seems to be wrong without a sign of you
The words in my head don't complete my sentences

So many others can tell me the same things,
But they don't mean as much as when it comes from you
Why won't you answer the darn phone
Where could you be
It doesn't matter anyway
I didn't really need you

Not tonight
I can solve my problems on my own
I keep hearing the rings
As I slowly hang up the phone

I sit here
Silently
The phone rings
On the caller ID
I see your number

Now you are the one waiting
Waiting on the other end of the line
You want to hear my words
You want to hear my voice
Just as I reach to pick up the phone, the ringing stops

I didn't need to talk to you anyway
Our problems can solve on there own
Just not now
Just not right now

Love,
Lady

*giggling with delight* this hurt my heart for you. I would have probably grabbed the phone and been very breathless as I answered. *sigh* oh well that is just me. Much love to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com
