Wrong Number

by Cherian Godfrey

Excuse me...

pardon me.

I didn't mean to intrude.

I must have been mistaken.

For a moment I thought you cared for me.

For just an instant your touch convinced.

But the light in your eyes has faded,

and your smile doesn't seem as strong.

I'll leave your pretty words here by the door -

they're surely meant for someone else.

You invited me in, though I'm clearly not welcome.

Please excuse me for not staying long.

I'll just slip out quietly -

you'll never know I was there.

Excuse me...

pardon me.

Goodbye.
