Phone Booth

*This is the Second Part of Missing You Like Crazy*

I found myself gazing at a vanishing sun reminiscent of the days you were mine
Trying to tame the emptiness and heartache that hasnt relieved with the passing of time
My breathing becomes shallow when your reemerging memories I cannot let go
The anguish Ive suffered has been so daunting, if only you knew what God knows

Ive never found a way to recover from the sudden urge to call you every time I hear mention of your name
Because trying to make it through without you by my side has been so difficult, not a thing has been the same
And so here I am at the phone booth confessing everything thats been on my mind since you last held me
Prepared to let know the depth of my emotions and the sincerity of my apologies through these glass walls for everyone to see

Dark and lonely nights do not forgive as only your thoughts seem to dance around my head
Ive been learning the hard way, so it turns out a picture doesnt say as many words as it leaves unsaid
As drops of rain begin to fall, its not easy to distinguish the heavens tears from my own
I should have told you how much I need you because I was never able to do this alone

Staring out these foggy crystal walls, all I can hope to see is your face through the soothing rain that pours
Ill use every ounce of my energy to wait for you until its your knock I hear on the booth door
At least give me a word, its all that I need to make these past minutes the most fulfilling
At least let me sense your understanding and feel your compassion; love me if youre willing

Ive held these words back for too long, and I dont feel I have the strength or will to continue this way
The days when I believed I could hold on to this hope and faith are gone as everything seems to be slipping away
But I cant deny that I miss you, for every single star in the moonlit sky has seen me on my knees
Because finding my everything in you is not what I consider luck but the makings of our future destiny

Just know that whatever you want to do, Ill be waiting at the phone booth for you
