You’re just a voice on the phone Flickering lights on a screen. I don’t mean to be mean But you’ve seen how upset And how lonely I get From missing you When you do that smile, That twist of your lip And I slip into wishing Pushing reality aside And wanting to reach Each time, greedily Into the phone And no longer be alone Missing you.
And now, with Skype A new type of missing Has appeared in my world. Now the curl of your hair Is also down there Where I can see it and It’s grand to lust after it; To get to sit and dream Though it seems naughty Somehow ****** Since it is you What else can I do? It feels better than crying And trying to pretend That on this end Everything is fine. I don’t mean to whine.
