I ask you...

Ring phone!

For I need to hear his voice.

The phone just sits there quietly, not making a sound.

Why I ask you, why do you not ring?

I sit here quietly waiting, hoping, praying.

Please ring, oh beautiful phone.

For I need to hear his voice.

Its been hours since I heard his voice.

Please, oh, please ring and let me hear the most beautiful voice.

Why I ask you, why do you not call?

I can still feel your touch on my skin.

Your scent still in the air.

Please speak, speak to me.

For I need to hear your voice.

Finally the sweet sound of the telephone breaks the silence.

But his voice I do not hear.

Why I ask you, why do you not speak?

I lay down and close my eyes so I can see your sweet face.

Please, oh, please speak to me.

For I need to hear your voice.

What is that I hear?

For its the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

Saying the hardest thing I have ever had to hear.

"Goodbye my love. I will be with you always."

Why I ask you, why do you not stay?

Stay my love, please stay.

For I need to feel your hand in mine.

I need to feel your breath against my skin.

I need to hear you say you're mine.

I open my eyes and realize my biggest fear is now reality.

You're no longer here!

Why I ask you, why did you die?
