im amazed at the fact that you always find me in this spot. and the fact that you always know when to walk away. i did cut off all forms of communication, in a way it was involuntary but in more ways than one, i would have to say it was voluntary. nonetheless, when i picked up the phone one sunday afternoon amidst the chaotic bookstores, your voice still sounds the same, with a sing-song tune that tells me the person on the other end of the line is smiling such a sweet smile because he is very happy to hear my voice once again.
after i hung up the phone, i am reminded of your mom. her sunny disposition and how warmly she welcomed me when we met last year. she loves to talk about everything under the sun and is very generous. she told me stories about you and your childhood, how hardworking and responsible you are. she told me you were also fond of dogs and then she handed me the box you sent me but went back since i purposely gave you the wrong address. she told me and my mom more stories about you, your brother and sisters. she is a graceful woman and her laughter is contagious. i fell in love with your mom. caught myself wishing that whoever i'd end up with will have a mother like her, who will welcome me warmly into their family and treat me as if im her own daughter. for a while i even thought that i just might have her as my own mother-in-law. but alas, you can not teach one's heart. mine has its own stupid way of betraying me. but once again im flattered. thanks for making me feel how a woman should feel about herself - special. and thanks for dedicating this song to me:
Why are you crying?
Tell me now, tell me now
Tell me why you're feelin' this way
I hate to see you so down, oh baby!
Is it your heart
Oh, that's breakin' all in pieces
Makin' you cry
And makin' you feel blue
Is there anythin' that I can do
CHORUS:
Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts
Now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away
Where are all those tears coming from
Why are they falling?
somebody, somebody, somebody left your heart in the cold
You just need somebody to hold on, baby
Give me a chance
To put back all the pieces
Take hold of your heart
Make it just like new
There's so many things that I can do
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make the tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts
Now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh, and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away
