The phone call

THE PHONE CALL

AS I SIT HERE ALL ALONE,
STARING PAINFULLY AT THE PHONE
HE SAID HE'D CALL SOME TIME AROUND NINE,
MAYBE THE WEATHERS AFFECTED THE LINE.
I FLICK THE CONTROL TO THE T.V. SET
MY MIND DRIFTS BACK TO WHEN WE FIRST MET
A PASSING GLIMPSE, A QUICK HELLO
IT QUICKENED MY PULSE AND MADE MY TEMPERATURE GLOW
HE INVITED ME BACK TO HIS HOUSE FOR A DRINK
I REALLY WASN'T SURE I'D HAVE TO THINK!
WITH LOTS OF IDLE TALK AND CHATTER
WE LAUGHED AND JOKED VERY LITTLE REALLY, DID MATTER
THEN AT LAST WAS THAT THE PHONE?
I RUSHED TO ANSWER I WAS NOT ALONE
"HELLO" I SAID, "IS THAT YOU?"
"HELLO GORGEOUS, IT'S YOU KNOW WHO!"
"I MISS YOU SO," HE WENT ON TO SAY
I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT THINK OF YOU ALL DAY"
WE TALKED OF WEATHER KIDS AND LIFE
THEN HE ASKED ME, TO BE HIS WIFE!
