Empty mailbox

Empty mailbox
It\'s what I see
It shows how much
You care for me

You said you would call
You said you would write
But I heard no ring
No letters in sight

I waited all day
For the mailman to come
I\'d look through the letters
But from you, not one.

I never gave up hope
Maybe you were busy
I never once thought
You forgot about me

But my hopes were dying
As long days went on
No letter from you
No, not one.

So I thought I would write
A letter to you
So you could see
I was thinking too.

I sent you the letter
And days went on
No response
My hopes were gone.

But I will still wait
For a door knock
Just to open it up,
To see an empty mailbox.
