The girl who cries wolf

A Phone Call

We said hello at half past one 
All our chores for the morning done
And as we spoke about our day 
The world began to fall away

To our highest hopes and deepest fears
‘If I had one wish, I’d wish you here’ 
The tantrums and the horror shows
The stories only you would know

All the while, with the ticking clock
Laughing as if we’d never stop 
We said good night at half past ten
At midnight we said good night again
