• that night

  you called me up last night,
  it took me by surprise.
  after all this time,
  after all this hurt,
  you'd even think of calling me?!
  
  you asked for your jumper from me,
  the back one i wore,
  six months back,
  on a winter's night.
  
  i remember the night,
  it started to snow, i shivered,
  and before i knew it,
  your jumper round my shoulders,
  you started to walk me home,
  
  we got to the door,
  i tried to give it you back
  you took me in your arms
  and whispered,
  
  'baby keep it
  remind you of tonight'
  i gotta go now,
  but i'll love you forever.'
  
  well now you're asking for it back,
  and saying how times have changed.
  i ask you one last question,
  'did i ever mean anything to you?'
  
  you pause and sigh,
  i wait patiently,
  'you meant the world to me,
  and you always will.'
  you said softly.
  
  now that was a year ago,
  and you haven't called back since,
  instead you left a letter,
  with a rose on my front door,
  in your childish scrawl,
  it read,
  
  'baby keep it,
  remind you of that night,
  i'm going now,
  but i'll love you forever'.
