One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
I was sitting here all alone
when it occured to me to dial the phone.
I looked up your number and pressed the digits.
Listened to a recording, and began to fidgit.
What if it is inventory?
If you were to answer, what is my story?
No problem there, it was only voicemail.
But the sound of your voice made my heart sail.
Well, that was one detail that I forgot.
How just hearing your voice, makes my heart stop.
The feelings came back, like out of the blue.
My heart beat a bit faster at the thought of you.
It was a mistake, just why did I do it?
I find myself sliding back into that pit.
Minutes before, I was on the right track.
It was one step forward, now two steps back.
As always your candid appraisal of yourself makes me think of something in my own life. Good job.
