In The Pause ©

Today you called as usual but something seemed strange
Our conversation no longer effortless I can tell there'd been a change
It wasn't so much in what we said but more in what we didn't
In the now frequent pauses true feelings become unhidden
In a single pause I heard you say
That you thought it was time to call it a day
This thing we had was no longer new
And I was no longer a mystery to you
You said you were suffocating and needed some space
Thought it was best for us both if I found my own place
I heard you tell me that it wasn't my fault
But love was just much harder then you had first thought
You say I'm special and you're sure I'll find
Another who deserves me, who will treat me kind
In a second the pause is over and with love you bid me goodbye
I attempt to build up the courage and I almost try
To confront all the things I heard in your pause
But I don't want to cause the end of our phone calls.
