Jade

.44

She stayed in bed

The whole first week

Not caring to do anything

But return his calls.

Once a day he'd text her

Then call for a few minutes 

In between shows.

The boys all joined in 

On the calls

But she just wanted to hear 

Luke.

He'd tell her about the fans

And how they would sing along

To every song

She'd tell him about her book

And how she's waiting

For the publisher to call

But it's been too long

Since she finished it all

Maybe they won't sell it 

At all.

He tells her has to go

And that he loves her

She does the same

But the satisfaction

She got from hearing

Those words

Weren't the same when

They weren't followed by a kiss

Already she counted down the days

And it seemed too long

She needed something

To do.

She wanted Luke.
