Time has passed
You’re barely a friend
but I hear your voice and
I’m right there again
Your laugh rings out
My heart feels squeezed
All that laughter we shared
It’s like a tease
Your dimples show
and your eyes, they dance
I’m taken back to love
and long looks of romance
Nights of dancing, drinking,
collapsing into sheets
To love, then to sleep
Secrets of the heart meet
So I listen to your East Coast mouth
that used to seem absurd.
And now I can’t help but find
myself hanging on every word.
Your words are not to me
as they once had often been
I remember hours on the phone
and I’m right back there again
You seem uninterested
You seem to no longer care
I ache to read your mind
Your silence is hardest to bear
It’s like this sick obsession
So much pain with you so close
Yet finally being in the same room
is what seems to matter most
I watch you walk away
without even a good-bye
It’s telling of so much more
and I fight the urge to cry
I miss everything about you
My heart still needs to mend
But all it will take
is hearing your name
And I’m right back there again
