all the clues i left behind

when i turned around and took that long walk away
you did not notice all of the clues that i had laid
point to fact right before we went to bid our adeux
i voiced out loud of that what I really want is you

i told you without telling what were my plans were
i kept telling myself to keep it a secret and defer
i could not go any real distance without your time
nor will I ever spend time without you on my mind

of all the clues scattered on the floor when I left
such as you know I never remain friends with my ex
the mere fact that I could never put down the phone
i had never wanted for you to feel completely alone

i know that what I want is not always what happens
and i’m sorry for falling out of being your captain
i spent almost every day on the phone with my love
not saying the words how much of you i’m thinking of

i would stay up at night and wait for you to be around
in a cold garage with a phone listening for the sound
when there was more distance i couldn’t help but fall
so i picked up a phone card so that I could only call

i purchased us some phones so that we could always talk
holding you close to my ear doing my pacing around walk
we would get as close as we could every time that we met
i would feel within to see if i happened to be fixed yet

when the time drew nearer of our eventual continuance
the intimacy we shared scared you of it’s non existence
but what you feared was only the farthest from the truth
i tried to explain how much we will be sharing our youth

when i called you up and asked if you wanted to be my date
you were so excited and i thought that this might be fate
i asked you some questions on if we should continue to go
but i said it all wrong again and what you answered was no

i would find myself upset every day that we would not talk
and get jealous of those with whom would take you for a walk
i thought you would feel it when we were so very intimate
and you did feel every bit but was given the wrong submit

with all of these clues that i left throughout this world
i was hoping you would notice that I wanted you as my girl
arm in arm and hand in hand, us loving each other forever
just me and my beloved madamsal walking this world together
