After Valentines

I dashed up to the door

And ran and grabbed the phone;

I had almost finished dialing

I wish that I had known.

But daddy quickly stopped me,

He said, “Alica sit.”

Then Daddy told me

How you’d tried to quit.

Did you think I’d be numb?

Did you think I’d be okay?

Did you think that I could live

When my best friend went away.

You knew the pain I felt;

You’d felt it just the same.

But you tried to quit,

And leave me with all of the blame.

This pain will never leave;

It will never cease to be.

But I still won’t let you quit

I need you to be with me.
