a long goodbye
i am in heaven but also in hell
don't
know you at all yet i know you so well
we
are together and yet i am quite alone
you
only wake up to my voice on the phone
you
say “oh my love i was thinking of you,
when
are you coming are you missing me too”
is
it wrong, is it cruel to reach across time
and
remind you once more that your heart is mine
is
using the magic of “remember when we ...”
a
cruel waste of time which is damaging me
questions
repeated, no knowledge retained
that
magnificent memory now gradually drained
this
awful progression eroding your mind
as
the weeks pass us by you are harder to find
i know in my heart that i should stay away
but
the light of your love so brightens my day
so i guess i'll keep calling till one day you don't know
the
voice on the phone and who still loves you so
