long distance (for L.)

i called this morning
to cry with you

so you would know
that you were not alone

i called to tell you
everything would be fine

even if you didn't
believe it true

i called to offer a laugh
an echo in your darkness

a break in the sorrow
if only for a moment

i called because i know
what it is like to loose a hope

to cling for only a moment
on a dream not meant to be

i called because i love
and wanted to make sure you knew
