I’m waiting for a special day

To call and ask you why 

You forgot to say hello to me,

But while I wait,

I, myself, can come up with

A thousand reasons

That might’ve done the trick,

But it seems they all boil down to two:

You couldn’t,

Or you just didn’t want to.

Now many special days have passed,

And somehow, I’ve never had the nerve 

To ask you, yet,

But don’t forget 

The answer to why

I didn’t call to say goodbye.

I have my reasons just like you.

There could be a thousand, but

They always only ever boil down to two:

I couldn’t,

Or

I didn’t want to.
