He is Calling

I love him so much that it's painful;
It hurts to hang up, say goodbye.
It always kills me to stop talking;
My eyes, they never dry.

I can't bear the distance between us;
I hate that he's so far away.
I don't want to wait to see him;
I wait for his call everyday.

My eyes grow weary and painful,
I heave until I feel alright;
Sometimes I just let the tears fall,
If only to sleep through the night.

I hate to hang up until next time,
Though I know that 'til then I'll be fine.
Sometimes it's the only incentive,
"Tomorrow he'll be on the line."
