One Day

I’d give anything now 

For the phone to ring 

To hear your voice 

Quietly whispering

Asking me 

How my day has been 

And reminding me 

That soon  

We’d be together again

We’d spend hours talking

Until our “goodnight”

I’d hold the phone

So close and tight

I’d have laughed 

To hear someone say 

That these simple moments

Would be some 

Of my best days

I never knew then

How quickly 

Life could change

That you’d be gone  

In only one day

Our forever plans

Are forever changed 

Lost in dreams of yesterday

I’m trying to be strong 

As you’d want me to be

But tears find their way

Into my best memories
