Stacy Fair Poet I do not know?

To Reach Out and Forget Someone

It’s late but I decide to call you anyway. I pick up the receiver,

my pulse begins to race

As I dial my fingertips begin to perspire.

I think back to the perfect romance we once shared.

It rings once.

I remember back to the warmth and security I felt in your embrace.

It rings twice.

I smile as I remember back to the wonderful day,

you chose me to be your wife.

It rings a third time.

My heart jumps as the silence is broken.

“Hello...” purrs a sleepy female’s voice.

I hang up and lie in what used to be our bed.

I cry as I remember back to the day you left.

And now I can so easily remember why.
