The Games We Played
The games we played
I was busy when you rang, I said, I will ring later.
When later came around I rang you, but you were busy too
had no time to talk.
You will sit by the phone waiting for me to ring,
but hurt by the tone of your voice I will not ring before tomorrow.
So, when I ring you will say something sarcastic
I will slam the phone down.
Sleepless and restless, something has to give
I finally ting you to say “I love you.”
Empty words, what I would have liked to say was this:
“ off, you silly woman.”
Pretence never lasts our love fizzled out.
So long ago. I can´t remember her face.
