Backfire

I know I've been so cold.
But tonight, I missed you.
I envy all those girls that
Are within perimeter to
kiss you.
I wanted something more.
I felt my heart open up.
Something was torn out of me,
And I think its your now.

I was so happy to hear your voice.
...Along with all the others.
I heard the many people,
And it will forever disturb my slumber.

I tried really hard, I swear I did.
I had so much to tell you.
It never occurred to me that
This.
One.
Time.

You wouldn't be there,
To ease my mind.

You spoke and you laughed.
But your voice...it was different.
Am I fading away from you?
Is that what that phone call meant?

This one time!
This one damn time!
That I want to see your face.
Why can't you at least try...?!
Not to let me be erased!

You have to go now.
And it took me so long to say...
But this one time I wanted to tell you...
You are so far away.

Not measured in miles, or in feet.
The distance is in your heart.
I wanted to say, 'I Love You'
But after that phone call,
My words fell apart.
