No one answered ...

I called the house this Sunday past.
There was a question I had to ask.
Another question put into the air.
Since once again you were not there.

You haven't been there every time I call.
I wonder if you're getting my messages at all.
You never write, and that's too bad.
I shouldn't let it makes me sad.

For years I wondered what you wanted to say.
When I was with you that August day.
No words were uttered from your heart.
And now it seems we are so far apart.

But I still love you and I understand why.
Still, I thought I would give it another try.
To tell you I thought about you today.
And to wish I had the right words to say.

I guess, in time, we both will made our peace.
Regardless, I needed to say the words at least.
Hopefully these words will take to wing and fly.
I miss you as yet another holiday goes by.
