Phone Message #1

I know I shouldn’t be calling,

But my last goodbye feels so appalling.

I saw you the other day at that party.

You were with that barbie. 

Is it too late to say I miss you

Or have you moved on to something new?

I bet you already kissed her.

I ran into your sister.

You know, I still have her hair tie

From that night back in July.

Do you think she’d want it back?

I was too scared to ask.

My wrist has grown attached.

I know I’m the one that walked away,

But sometimes I wonder why you never begged me to stay.

I guess that’s partially my fault,

For keeping my heart locked in a vault.

I wish I could do it over.

Go back to October.

To autumn blisses

And pumpkin patch kisses.

Maybe that’s why I called.

To let you know my heart has thawed

And for you to maybe recall.

We don't choose whom we love - just whom we like. And we don't always realize the difference until after...

I know this feeling and sadly, each time I made these calls, left these messages my phone never rang back. Oh well...it happens. Nicely crafted.
