You.

You don’t answer my phone calls anymore.

      … and fall asleep when I need you.

I want to love you still and yet,
                           it is harder than before.

               Self help books on breakups and worth
                         send mixed messages into my thoughts

          … absence is not making my heart grow fonder.

I am here. 

           … but you must earn my love.

                      if that effort is too much for your pride to bear,
                                 tell me now and I will go.

        I believe in us.

                                             don’t take that away from me…
