Effort

So I picked up my phone
Then Dialled your number
This is a call I have been
Looking forward to the whole day

I dialled each digit perfectly
then looked at the combination
Of numbers and I could already
Hear your voice.
Then I realized something
Something that lead to me
Putting my phone down

When have you called me?

When have you thought of me?
When did you look forward
To hearing from me?

A little effort goes a long way
But I see that I am putting in
All the effort
I find Joy in being with you
But I see a clearer picture now

So in the silence that exists
Every time I don't make an effort
I shall slowly walk away

It's dysfunctional of me to do so
But I am just tired

Tired of waiting for the day
In which you either show or tell
That you are thinking of me
And even if that day comes
I might be too far from your reach...
