Sitting Alone

Sitting alone by the phone,
I’ll never forget the call.
The one I hoped to get,
but never received at all.

I know that you couldn’t stay
At a place you weren’t smiling.
Things didn’t go your way,
And your problems were piling.

Will you someday remember me
or maybe just come back again?
Will I ever laugh or smile 
without having to pretend (now and then).
