When I Heard the News

© Jaimey Perham - 09/29/2014

Heard the news in that email late at night

Got a excited shiver of pure ecstatic fright

Nervous, but full of a great expectation of might

Needed to talk to you in person woman, mouth to mouth

Right then in that immediate moment to just really find out

The truth to all the rumor and not all the hearsay and doubt

Know I failed in your eyes on lonely nights when you sleep

Only did what I felt was right at the time, but got in too deep

In the end I hope you laugh again girl and please not weep

Life twists and turns with each new conscious beat

I can’t believe 20 years have left our old unadulterated feet

All that cheating haze finally leaving as we once again meet

Face to face, many guilty absent years lost and missing

Old key memories return as we reunite so I just listen

Never were you gone just blocked by my own ignorance

I’m even more resilient as we unlock into one from two

The music now makes sense to me with your touch anew

I hope in the very end we can be friends, my love, just you

Heard the news in that email late at night

Got a excited shiver of pure ecstatic fright
