Do You Still Want To See Me

I should not be angry
That you have not called me
I should learn to expect that

I know, I know, you have a job
And I am on vacation
But do you still want to see me

You didn’t promise to call
I just hoped
And maybe it is just me that was let down

I know I have a lot going on in my life
I know there is a lot out there
And I seldom get to enjoy that

So that would be why I
was looking forward to hearing from you
well, I was

We got two messages on the answering machine
Today, both just hang ups
And that could have been you trying
But if it was, you didn’t leave a message

Well, I can at least hope, you know

And I can say that I’ve been thinking about you
And that I have wanted you

And in such a short time
I think it is possible that I can miss you too

And I want to learn more about you
And I want to have more memories with you
And I want to be able to learn from you
And I want someone to teach me something

that someone could be you
