Lying in bed since half past 7
2 slices of toast in the tummy
1 glass of water
Drifting in and out of sleep
Waiting for the call
Ringing followed by a familiar voice
Tinge with anger, sadness, heartache and disappointment
I could only listen and agree
To be logical and supportive
It is not entirely my fight, but I will be a soldier for you
To stand with you and support you
Lying in bed, fingers walking the number pad
Listening, speaking, heartache and tears
We hang up as time runs out
Another ring, followed by your familiar voice,
More listening, speaking, heartache and tears
Words fail me at this point in time
Sorry is not good enough.. reality sets in and yes, it hurts.
Only time can tell.. if what we had was real.
Only time can tell.. if we have the strength, love and faith needed.
Words fail me at this point in time.
