The Box Feeling
By JoAnn Abbott
I think of you
And it’s like opening a box
Of memories
I see the day when we first really spoke together-
And I remember how I cried for you
Because you couldn’t let yours go
Or let anybody know
How you were hurting
I think of you
And I miss all the things we shared
The silly jokes
The way we’d talk about the things we loved and hated
And how I waited through those nights with you
Until you trusted me and knew
I was your friend and cared for you
Through all your sorrows
Chorus
I guess you needed someone who would listen
Listen with their heart
Who would be there in the night
When life was tearing you apart
I guess I needed to be needed
You see, I was lonely too
10 million people playing games
And I found you.
I think of you
You seemed to live inside this box
In front of me
Chatting till one, or two or three, most every morning
Do you remember how I laughed with you?
It was no chance we met that day
We had some help along the way
A higher power
I think of you
I miss your laughter and your smiles
I miss the time
I watched you open up the box which I had sent you
And all those feelings that we shared those days
“You’re not alone” was what I gave
While loving you, I too was saved
From being lonely
Chorus
I guess you needed someone who would listen
Listen with their heart
Who would be there in the night
When life was tearing you apart
I guess I needed to be needed
You see, I was lonely too
10 million people playing games
And I found you.
I think of you
You seemed to live inside this box
In front of me
Chatting till one, or two or three, most every morning
Do you remember how I laughed with you?
It was no chance we met that day
We had some help along the way
A higher power
I think of you
I miss your laughter and your smiles
I miss the time
I watched you open up the box which I had sent you
And all those feelings that we shared those days
“You’re not alone” was what I gave
While loving you, I too was saved
From being lonely
Chorus
I guess you needed someone who would listen
Listen with their heart
Who would be there in the night
When life was tearing you apart
I guess I needed to be needed
You see, I was lonely too
10 million people playing games
And I found you.
I think of you
And it’s like opening a box
Of memories…..
