Call my name
when you see something beautiful,
like a sky with a song
or a storm that follows you home.
Call my name
when the words drop,
when the music stops,
when the meaning
of the song
grabs hold of your soul,
and feeds you your heart.
Call my name
when the sun rises,
when you can’t stop looking,
when the view is worth
a picture
and the picture has
a thousand words
to write home about.
Call my name
when you cry for no reason
other than the way
something beautiful
rips your heart out
and you know
I would cry with you.
Call my name
when you write a story
in your head
before you put it to paper,
and call my name
when you have to change
the ending
because the story of us
didn’t end beautiful.
Call my name
when your heart breaks,
when my song plays,
when you start dancing
to only the words
and nothing makes sense
but everything does
and you sway back and forth
to the meaning
that was always written
in my eyes,
if only you had looked in time.
Call my name
for old times sake,
as I throw the music
back to the words.
Call my name
one last time;
my song is too loud
to hear you.
