So I called you today
And I don't know why.
The combination of idle hours
Questioning thoughts
And a phone number I'll never forget
Equalled a call I never should have made.
You're doing well it seems
You've stopped using
(Do I believe you?)
And started those early morning surfing trips
Which used to make you so happy.
They were the only mornings I ever got up before seven and smiled.
We talked
I smoked
And laughed together
About nothing in particular
While remembering days we took for granted.
I didn't mean to retrace old paths
But when the past is all you have in common
It's really hard to let it go.
We didn't talk about the tears
Or the nights where tearing each other down
Seemed our only purpose.
Over the phone
Over the years
Under the laughter
We slipped into old patterns
Of comfortable silence
And bare-faced truth.
I recognised the boy I used to love.
I thought he'd disappeared forever
In a white lined haze
Of confusion and intrusive reality.
You made fun of my perpetual cold
And I pretended to be hurt
And made you beg my forgiveness.
But I could hear your grin
In your sarcastic apologies
And couldn't help but laugh.
It's hard to be serious with you
Cos you never take anything seriously.
Before I knew it two hours had passed
And my washing was still undone
My car still dirty
And the fridge still empty
So I said goodbye
Promised to call again
And gently hung up the phone.
10 minutes later I already missed your voice....
I should never have called.
And I don't know why.
The combination of idle hours

And a phone number I'll never forget
Equalled a call I never should have made.
