Trying To Make Amends
I want so bad to call
I want to bad to text
I can't believe after only 6 months
It's so very hard
I take one last look
At all our old text
And I just can't fight it anymore
So I do what I know I shouldn't
But with the tears already falling
I didn't feel I had much to lose
Though when ur vmail picked up
I quickly realized I was wrong
The tears turned into a flood
And my heart felt like it was slowly being pulled from my chest
And then my phone rang
The world stopped
And as ur pic popped up on my phone
I stopped breathing
I tried to clear my throat as I answered
And to my surprise u actually talked to me
And though u didn't say
The things I so desperately wanted to hear
It did me good just to hear ur voice
My heart was racing
As I tried to hide the sniffles
From where I'd been crying
I swallowed my pride
And somehow found the courage
To say things to you
That I've never could
Sum questions were hard to ask
Still I pushed myself to do so
And I think just knowing
That I got them off my chest
Knowing that I had the courage
To say those things with u listening
Made me feel just a lil bit better
And though u may not know where things go from here
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna stop trying
Baby I still love u
With every beat of my heart
And I will go to the ends of this earth
To prove to you its true!!!
