Just on Paper



Occassionally my phone rings, and when I answer no one is there
A strange number from your side of town, where only you would be calling from
In the dead of night when dreams take over I miss you like I never thought possible
I wake up physically ill with a sadness that I thought had gone the way of us
Tear stains on the pillow and an emptiness in my chest, gulping for air
Reaching for you, gone, no air, deep breaths
Asleep again, you are wrapped in my arms
Fading warmth, memories receding,
Morning comes and I remember how to breathe
People ask and I claim it's just on paper...
Do you know I call you back?
