as if i didnt notice- after call number 3 today

work your way back in
slowly
so i dont recognize
that you are calling me daily
when we never used to talk
that you call just because
when you couldn't call at all
that you are laying the foundation
for a future for yourself
in these arms in these legs
one phone call at a time
seeping your way back to my good side
so that when the question arises
and it will
i'll be like putty
maleable and ready...
for you to enter my
atmosphere again
slowly
one step at a time
you creep back in
