Tonight

Sometimes I won't even think of you.
Your image is not in my head.
Your name never comes up.

But then there is tonight.
When all of you comes back.
The memories. The emotion.
Its running right through me.

I never thought you would do this.
Hurt me as if I didn't matter.
Nothing you say can change it now.

But then there is tonight.
When I want to call you up.
Tell you the exciting news.
I just have to hold myself back.

My phone never rings anymore.
I keep hoping someone will call.
Anyone but you.

But then there is tonight.
I can't sleep because I miss you.
Not even whiskey could fix this.
The hurt so deep inside of me.

Most days I feel I can get by.
I am tough enough.
But then there is tonight.
