a grey whales white bones.

I just wanted to let you know.
that when we are talking on the phone
beginning to leave.
about to end our conversation.
about to say goodnight.
when i say "wait" or
when I say your name
I catch your attention.
I catch it, so I dont have to hangup
I dont have to end another conversation.
cause I never really want to say goodnight
goodbye
sometimes I like farewells.
not our farewells.
I just wanted to let you know, that when I do that, I really just want to keep you on the line.
so that you dont hangup
because recently I have learned
that when you do.
this new feeling erupts.
and it makes me curl
paper to a flame.
what a old story.
I wish I never said goodbye to you tonight.
I probably wouldn't be half the mess I am now.
I love you.
