She stood in the hotel hallway

Knocking at the door

Was he to answer?

Three in the morning

She’d driven through the snow

“Please open the door” her voice crackled

Into the lobby phone, now flowed through

In the background



He opened the door, listened half-heartedly to the “I’m sorry’s”

“Please forgive me’s”, stone cold heart awaited her

and as the tears began to flow, and as she said “I’ve messed this up too”

he arose and kissed her tears away,

And after the touch…he would love her…again
