The Call Poem by dino evans

'Hey, yea it's me'...

'Last night was fun, it really was...
Been too long I guess...
No no.. you looked just great...
The years have seen you blessed'...

'Well I suppose, I mean I think I have...
Have you? '...
'Yea, I understand...
Of course you did..I know you do'...

'Things just got out of hand'....

'So.. how's the family? ....
Wow, it's been a lot of years..
Little Brooke is married now? ...
Hello? .... yea I'm' still here'...

'Just something in my eye I guess..
No, it's alright, I'll be ok...
I cant believe it's been that long...
I thought of her today'...

'Boy, we thought we'd last for good....
I know... I hate that too...
No.. no.. don't say that...not your fault...
Don't think that I blame you'...

'I know, that's true... you really did..
I didn't realize...
You did the right thing..
I knew it then...
When we said our goodbyes'...

'About last night.. you see..the thing is...
Oh yea... I understand...
That's quite alright...don't worry babe...
Things won't get out of hand'...

'Just bumping into you like that...
I felt i had to call...
Of course you have..I know... I won't...
Just this once... that's all'...

'Ok sure... it's been nice...
I know you have to go...
I just had to hear your voice again...
And say hello...hello? '....

'Hello? '.........................
