Pick Up Your Phone

It's been a long time, 

But it's not long at all. 

It feels like it's been years, 

Since I lost my strong wall. 

Who knew a wall could break, 

Who knew you would leave us. 

Who knew I would sit alone, 

When riding the smelly bus. 

It hurts to miss you this much, 

Because I can't hug you anymore. 

Today, I'm not feeling so strong, 

Like you, I'm fighting a silent war. 

I find myself calling your old number, 

But you never pick up your phone. 

I can see you at the graveyard, 

But you're not some cold stone. 

You were alive once and laughing, 

Joyful and always joking around. 

How can someone as great as you, 

Now lie underneath the ground? 

I am crying for you tonight, 

Why is it so hard to forget? 

Some people say life's a game, 

But I can't find the button "reset" 

If only I could really reset everything, 

I would do anything to make you stay. 

But I know I'll never see your face again, 

No matter how many grieving words I say. 

I keep thinking I could've changed it, 

But you didn't leave any of us a choice. 

If only you would pick up your phone, 

I want to hear your cheerful voice. 

I need you right now, 

Everything is going wrong. 

I wan to see you again, 

It's been way too long. 

Please, pick up your phone.
