Somebody Laughing

Somebody Laughing I dreamed I called your number and when you picked up the phone. I heard somebody laughing I knew you weren't alone. You said I was mistaken that you were doing just fine. I asked if you remembered back when you were mine. You said you do but you've moved on, you hoped I'd be okay. I heard somebody laughing, I didn't know what to say. I asked about your family you said everyone was great. That you had someplace to be and you really can't be late. As I said goodbye to you, I said I'm sorry for the call. I heard somebody laughing I wasn't dreaming after all. Edwin C Hofert

Just a stepping stone. :) Some lessons in life are more ugly than others.

Nice rhyme! Clever tale. Kinda sad. I picture a caring man calling an old flame that he still loves and she is pretty much mocking him. Enjoyed! Thanks for sharing!
