I Promised Not To Call

If my leaving suits you best then I'll go like all the rest and never question why we ever tried at all. But when you told me not to stay you were crying as you turned away so I'll honor your last wish... and promise not to call. You will not sleep well tonight as you'll wake up to the sight of my jacket gone and boots not in the hall. So you'll find yourself alone and when you go to check your phone, they'll be no message because...I promised not to call. I'm a miserable sight as I lie here tonight With a hand grasping the phone. But I'm losing the fight to do what is right As I try to leave you alone. You will tremble at the thought about the misery you have bought and the regret that leaves a person feeling small. So when you want to hold my hand you'll have to change your plans and come and find me because... I promised not to call. Should you cast away your doubt and strive to freely seek me out, you'll find this Cowboy at the ready standing tall. Until then my will is weak and I would give anything just to speak but I gave my word so... I promise not to call. I'm a miserable sight as I lie here tonight With a hand grasping the phone. But I'm losing the fight to do what is right As I try to leave you alone. The End *For those who might be interested. I will be posting my cartoon 'Bob's your Uncle' on my homepage. A new one will appear every second day.
