"The number you have dialled Is  no longer in service." How those words Rung in my head When you had left; It hurt How it lingered On my tongue, The tongue that once knew Your name; so familiar You were that number And you had disappeared Appeared once in my life To leave and never come back You were like a soul Wandering, Searching, Losing her way You thought that You found your light -- The light that you needed-- In me How foolish was I? To believe that we -- In the hopes of forever -- were something permanent "The number you have dialled" Those words that came from my mouth "Is no longer in service" Are words that are, now, out of my reach Never to return; Never to reappear; Never to exist Not once more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "How are you?" she had asked. I answered her with the words that lingered in my mind. Because, just like you, I was no longer in reach
