called her last night 
 
 and i read her a line from my favorite book of poetry
 
 and i, i started to cry
 
 she asked me what was wrong
 
 don't worry, it's not you, it's me
 
 i never knew
 
 half the stories told to me
 
 stories like the sun is blue
 
 and i, i never knew
 
 half the time i spent with her
 
 i wish to god i spent it all with you
 
  
  she called me last night 
 
 she read me a line from her favorite book of poetry
 
 and i, she started to cry
 
 i said what's wrong with you
 
 she said don't worry, it's not you, it's me
 
 well it's plain to see
 
 every time you look at me
 
 you wish to god it was her with you
 
 well i never knew
 
 all the time you look at me
 
 i wish to god i gave her away from you
 
 see my baby now
 
 all the poetry is written about you somehow
 
 and every time i read the little line of poetry
 
 i just think about just you and me
  
 
 she called me last night
 
 and we talked for what seemed like the very first time
 
 and we, we began to see
 
 life is too short to run away from everything, she reads
 
 i don't know what you've done to me
 
 i don't care anymore, can't you see
 
 i just want love, just want love
 
 it's not hard, just let me know
 
 because every time i read a line from the book
 
 i realize the poetry, that poetry was written bout you and me
 
 all this poetry is written bout just you and me
