Three states, nine hundred miles apart
Been so long since we’d last talked
To be honest, I was a bit in shock
I can’t remember how many years
Or even the season or why you called
You just blurted out so nonchalantly
You’d just opened chilled Mogen David
Then you started dialing my number
As if you still knew me, after all this time
Maybe you never expected me to answer;
Like so many of those evaded questions?
I told you I still think of you all the time
Akin: I’m out trekking some mountainside
Chasing an invisible connection for my soul
And you followed- with a deep- long inhale
Just long enough to, stir up a little silence
Where I thought I heard your heart flutter
Like how your voice whispers my attention
But I was expecting, maybe a little more
I bit my lip and the suddenly you hung up
You were still able to bring hurt to my eyes
I tried to call you back but got your service
Your voice saying you’re out, “living it up”
I left a few messages, how we ought talk
But now I see all we ever accomplished
Was a craving love we left unfinished
Rode hard and put away in an odd silence
I think its time for maybe a new mountain
I’ve moved on to the factual realization
To know, is to hurt, what could’ve been…ours

Lol… calm down now. I’ve been over a few mountains since then. All is good but good to know I have some feisty friends will to exact a bit of poetic justice. 🙂 Thank you.

Those kinds of unexpected calls are the worst. So many emotions dredged up, awkwardness being chief among them.

Yes, I found the song to post afterwards which seemed to sum up those same emotions as well.
