I wish it was you on the phone
calling me back because you felt I shouldn’t be alone
I wish you’d checked twice as I said goodbye
I wish you’d noticed the tears forming in my eyes
I wish you’d understand when I said I was okay
that there was a reason I looked the other way
I wish you could see that the reason I lie
is the same reason, sometimes, that I cry.

Realizing you’ve grown so much that the things that consumed your thoughts then are just a fleeting laugh now

For when I saw her
My heart fell open

For she did more than sing
With her words she made love

For with the notes
Her heart did spill

For when I saw her
I fell in love
