Call Back

I gave my word to you—
So, keep these words with you
for something real to hold:
I was unsure, then I finally came around.
But when your cell phone rang,
you didn't hear a sound.
Oh well. You have kept me waiting
to make you strong,
but I will not wait forever.
I will not wait so long
just sitting here.
For now, I'll wait until
I get the call back.
And if you don't, oh well.
And now you're finding silence
in someone else's arms,
but that's the price we pay to
lay these loving charms ...oh well.
