Tell Me

I need you so much tonight
I keep catching myself
staring at the phone
hoping to lift the receiver
and hear your voice

is that so wrong?

In another world
I'd be with you
your hands holding mine
you'd tell me I will be alright
everything will be okay
and I'd believe you.

But here I am.

And I know you won't call
yet I sit
and wait
anticipating an imaginary ring...
