7:42
On the first ring…
My phone lights up
Buzzing on the nightstand
Rousing my poor soul from a hellish sleep
On the second ring…
A sleep laden limb
Reaches out for the phone
Sleep weary eyes try to discern
The word,
Flashing on the screen
On the third ring…
my eyes make out the word UNKNOWN
My hand shakes
“answer it or no?”
The battle raging in my head
On the fourth ring…
I throw caution to the wind
“hello” I mutter
Silently shaking
Waiting on a reply
Hating the sound
Of my sleep ridden voice
As the call is connected…
“good morning beautiful”
Reaches sleepy ears
The shaking stops
My heart melts
Butterflies erupt in me
I know exactly who it is
“I miss you baby”
Escapes my lips
“I’m sorry to wake you”
He replies
His voice so soft, so sweet, so full of love
“this is my one call to the States”
He says
“and I wanted it to be to you
I haven’t got long you know
It’s a kiss on your soft lips
I wish to bestow”
My heart skips a beat
Or maybe two or three
And I whisper in his ear
“I think about you
Every second of every day,
Every time my heart beats
It beats for you
I only wish you could know
Your voice melts my heart
A single kiss from you
Could start the world anew
All because you called
At 7:42”
The call only lasts
A few more minutes
“I have to go”
He says
“when I get back home
I’ll cause your heart to beat true
I’ll start our world anew,
Oh baby, only god could know
How much I need you,
Your love melts my heart
A touch of your hand
And a kiss from your lips
Would send me higher,
Higher, than the clouds
My body aches
With longing
To be lying next to you
And baby its all cause I called
At 7:42”
As the call is disconnected…
I lay here alone and awake,
Praying to god,
That tomorrow they’re
Be another call
At 7:42
