Please come home??

I wasnt expecting you to call,
but when you did  
I was surprised.  
You remembered my number after so many years.  
I tried to hold back the tears,  
I fought to choke back  
the words I knew would end it.  
You've found someone else,  
and your having his baby.  
You seem to be happy,  
but under your breath,  
I know you better than that.  
I know who you are,  
I know what you look like  
on the inside.  
You're not fully happy,  
You still need something.  
I wish that something was me.  
I gasp for air,  
for I have been holding my breath,  
trying to hold back the tears.  
Then I tell you  
"I've missed you."  
And you replied,  
"I missed you too!"  
With such a lack of words,  
I paused,  
I thought,  
should I ask?  
And I did.  
"Do you still love me?"  
And you didn't giggle,  
but I heard you smile.  
There was silence,  
lasted only seconds,  
but felt like hours.  
Then you answered,"Yes".  
Your sweet voice,  
weakens my knees when you talk alone.  
It drives me insane.  
Then I realize,  
I could never be what you need.  
I could never be what you're still longing for.  
But even after this,  
I can't ever bring myself to say,  
I still love you,  
please come home...
