Wish You Were Here
kgmeloy, March 28, 2020 – day 8

hangin on the phone- waitin’ for a text or a call
try-in’ to be patient tho my head and heart are racing now
wondrin’ why you’re quiet cause i know for sure that you ain’t out
on- my- shoulders sit the benefit and shadow of doubt

long distance romance when you’re living in the same damn town
staring at the phone waitin’ for that familiar sound
should i text again or be cool and wait for you to reply
avoiding the obvious like i would a stick in the eye

gimme a chance to believe you
gimme a chance to concede
you know that i love you girl
but you gotta take the lead
it’s not that i really doubt you
my head has a mind of it’s own
drowning in my own damn thoughts
don’t wanna be alone
don’t wanna be alone

it would be so easy
pretending you are here
but that feels impossible
will it be another year?

i never meant to hurt you
as i collapse to the floor
i need some understanding
not bang my head on the door
all i want is to see you
not face a great unknown
i fill myself with promises
don’t wanna be alone
don’t wanna be alone
