The Unanswered Phone
You should have loved me
As much as I loved you.
You should have kissed me
The way that I kissed you.
You should have respected me
With the respect I have for you.
You should have been faithful to me
As I always was with you.
You should have talked to me
When I cried and begged you to.
You should have asked me to stay
When I left and said we’re through.
But you did not.
So, the phone rings on and on.
And I ignore it without a thought.
Because, for you, I’ll always be gone.
