ring back
you rang and said
I didn’t pick up
you only tried once
just to prove a point
it’s not clear that if I’d been there
you would have been able to hear me
did you have the right number?
you rang and I was there
you spoke, and I replied
the line’s not dead
the voice is not in your head
I’m in your heart
I am here
you dialed and hung up afraid
of what I might say
you tried many times but I
was never in
you rang and say you only ever
got my machine
while encouraged to hear a message
sometimes you did
sometimes you didn’t
I got them all in fact I rang back
but you were sure I was
a feedback box
only ever ready to hear that I
didn’t bother to pick up
you rang and I was there
you spoke, and I replied
the line’s not dead
the voice is not in your head
I’m in your heart
I am here
how could I reject you on
caller ID alone?
