“I’ll call you,” that’s what I said
The Sunday we met,
But each time I tried
My mind just fretted.
Every day I pick up the phone
To spare my minutes to call
But I am afraid I’d sound like a clown
And so I turn away.
Tonight is Wednesday
And as I sit here waiting,
Aching to call you
All of a sudden I know.
I can sit here now forever
And snivel altogether
Until the tears run salty on my cheeks
For all of a sudden I know.
I know what the stars have known
All the time.
I would have made that call
If only I had the courage.

What is this flutter?
Why am I feeling this queasy feeling in my stomach?
I shouldn't feel this but I am feeling,
this crazy tremulous feeling.
Heart pounding, head racing.
It is exciting.
It is confusing.
Heck, it is ...
around this time
every year since you left
you get me in this pensive mode
it's not as painful as
when i think about you
around the time we met
yes see, i had to think about you
twice every year.
that's all ...
