Name, Number, No Answer....

Name, number, no answer

I was so fond of you that I asked for your name

You made me smile and warm within

So I asked for your number

You nodded and smiled, and spoke

The numbers to your phone

I assumed that you wanted me to call

And I got your machine, and it was

The sweet voice I remember

But days and days go by

With no answer

Was I wrong, did the spark I felt

Only touch me, apparently you were not moved

To act or call me back

My heart is torn, a week later I called again

But still no answer, like the echo in a canyon

My call disappears in the distance

The memory of your face and your laughter

Are all I have now, and I wonder if

You even remember my name

I am thankful for meeting you, but

It hurts my heart that you don’t want

To talk to me anymore

Lord lead me to a friend that will answer my call

And make time for me in her life.

I am full of love, and I do not want

My heart to ache for nothing

Please just tell me no thank you

If you do not want to talk to me.

I prefer rejection to answering machines

The rejection is short and sweet

Answering machines leave me hoping

When there is no hope to be had
