I used to carry my phone around
hoping you would call me now
I walk away
my house is three stories and
I can't hear the phone and still
I walk away
I long to hear your voice I send
a hopeful query to you then
I walk away
I leave the phone plugged in the wall
and go up the stairs and down the hall
I walk away
I listen in the quiet to hope sighing
in my heart and maybe dying as
I walk away
