and finally i had the courage to ring you up.
a conversation that was, speaking as though we were old friends who remained that way.
All of a sudden i dropped my reservations, i ceased to mind how you treated me for the last 6months.

and we got onto the topic of your current crop of sorrows...
and just when you were about to spell it out over the phone, you went silent.

And how was i supposed to know
that waking up for a second or two
has postponed our conversation for eternity?

as I fought my way back into my sleep, you already hung up
and now even in reality, I dare not ring you up ever again
for the fear that i'll be making that call
which you will never respond.
