Another Missed Conversation

Wait a minute or two for you

Give you the time of the day

Or a reason to stay

Call me at least to say "Sorry."



I drove by your house just to see

If setting an alarm is too hard for me

To pick up the phone

Not feel so alone

I guess sleep is more important



Plans for why you stayed home tonight

Not to sleep, nor not to fight

To see me again,

Hold you closer, my friend

Tonight you wanted more than my hand



Too late now, missed conversation

Too late now, that you forgot to wake up

I am all ready to sleep

And I won't move a peep

You missed out and made for disappointment



Just another missed phone conversation

Like all the many others from before

Now that I see the truth

Of the real 'you'

Tell me, who now can I still depend on?



Shoes off now, I am ready to sleep

Amazed you couldn't call, not even to speak

I thought that you missed me today

I thought that I threw all your fears away

I'm sad now that you didn't invite me to stay

Goodnight

I was waitin for another phone call that never came while I was writing this...had plans, but I guess they fell through.  I hope it never happens again
