You and I Together Again

You called me up out of the blue and I never thought
of it being You.
You asked me how I was and how I was doing and
wondered why I was with Him.
I tried to explain with the little time I had and soon had
to go and meet up with Him.
I remember those nights I cried myself to sleep and wondered
why I let me fall for You.
I remembered those days and how long  and dull they were
without your smiling face.
I remembered those times when all I wanted was to cuddle up
with you and lay in silence.
I found myself wondering what all that would be like
if You and I were together again.
And I couldn't look Him in the eyes without feeling the guilt
of comparing Him with You.
So I let Him go with a long sad goodbye and tried to move on
and try my luck with You.
But I had to try and explain to Him with the little time I had
and go meet up with You, together again.
