Paul Callus Poet Lyric

I Miss You

Babe I took you much for granted
Should have known that things were wrong.
You put up with every moment,
Kept your peace and tagged along.

Then one day to my dismay
You packed up to go away.
I implored, but all in vain,
There was nothing to explain.

Susan Ashley November 26, 2017 at 7:35 PM Ohh Paul, my heart melted when I read this. Even though love was taken for granted and is the reason why the other left, your heartfelt words are so poetically sincere and rhythmic that I can't help but feel sadness for this person's heartbreak... a mark of a brilliantly written poem my talented friend. Belated congrats as well. Warmest wishes always.. P.S. check out my poet's note on 'Finespun Fingers'.. Susan Ashley November 27, 2017 at 9:17 PM you're welcome Paul :) Paul Callus November 27, 2017 at 8:33 AM Thank you, Susan. Often we take things and people for granted, little realizing that a storm could be brewing up. ~ I have revisited 'Finespun Fingers' and I can't describe in words my lovely reaction to your generous note...thank you!! Your friendship is also very much appreciated. Warm regards // paul
