he calls my phone when he's alone

Folder: 
first

only gives me the time of day

when i stop giving mine.

only when i start to stray

am i ever asked to stay.

only while the tides are changing

does his life need rearranging.

i am real.

i am ever changing

and i feel

every inch he pulls away.

the distance grows each day,

and i'm shamed by all the times

i didn't walk away.

do you find it foolish the way i care for you?
