I wish you had called... or left a message on the wall...

There was never a day
When your thought didn't cross my mind
Sitting and waiting at the window
I was hoping to see you this fall

I wish you had called...
left a message on the wall...


Like the notes you left me on the table
or the ones you pinned on the refrigerator
I hoped to see your message on the dusty car window
or maybe a letter.

For once, I wouldn't have told you off
for painting a graffiti in our backyard.
I would write back to you
and re-read your post cards.

Cherishing every word
Living every moment you describe
I could go on reading
the letters that you type.

I could smile a while
and wait a little longer
While you return
our love could grow stronger

Havin' a good laugh at you silly yet cute handwriting
I would decode your encryptions
I'd take my time to understand your letters
Sometimes complex as medical prescriptions!

And while you are off duty
for a moment if you get lonely,
Just close your eyes
and remember me.

Remember that

there is someone who's waiting
for that one phone call.
Waiting to read

just a message on the wall
