You call me at 3am and I answer

Happy to see your face

You tell me you've missed me

You offer to swing by my place

With wontons and chopsticks

And hot-n-sour soup

You'll rent a sappy chick-flick

From the Redbox like we used to

We'll cuddle with one another

And laugh until we cry

I'll fall asleep in your arms

And dream of good dreams.

And I did.

But that peace withered away

As my eyes cracked open

It faded to grey

Because you weren't there with me

You never were.
