Just thought I'd give you a call.
Is there anything wrong?, you ask,
I hesitate and say, No, Mom, not at all.
Well, it's been awhile,
Since I've heard from you.
I know, Mom, I'm sorry,
I've just had alot to do.
Is there a particular reason,
You dialed me up today?
Well, yes there is, Mom,
There's alot I need to say.
Are you sure there's nothing wrong?
She continued with some doubt.
Well, there is this one thing,
If you would like to hear me out.
Of course, honey, go ahead,
I'll do anything I can.
Well, Mom, you see, uh...
There seems to be this man.
Man? What man?
I think you'd better explain!
Oh yes, Mom, a wonderful man,
But this is a little insane.
Insane? Is he crazy?
What is going on?
No, Mom, he's not crazy!
The trouble is, he's gone...
Gone? What do you mean?
What are you saying, dear?
Mom, please stop interrupting!
There's alot you need to hear.
Alright, I'll keep still,
But why are you so upset?
Because, Mom, he meant alot to me,
And now I'm supposed to forget.
Forget all the love,
And pleasures we shared.
We'll still be friends,
And know how much we cared.
But, I've lost a big part of me,
I feel so lost and so sad.
It's terrible to admit this, Mom,
But I want back what we had.
Well, honey, what's the big deal?
Just tell him what you've told me.
Mom, he knows exactly how I feel,
He feels the loss just as deeply.
I give up, honey,
What is the problem then?
Well, you see, Mom, he's married,
That's why he can only be my friend...
Mom?? Hello?? Mom!!
