Called her last night 
and i read her a line from my favorite book of poetry 
and i, i started to cry 
she asked me what was wrong 
don't worry, it's not you, it's me 
i never knew 
half the stories told to me 
stories like the sun is blue 
and i, i never knew 
half the time i spent with her 
i wish to god i spent it all with you 
she called me last night 
she read me a line from her favorite book of poetry 
and i, she started to cry 
i said what's wrong with you 
she said don't worry, it's not you, it's me 
well it's plain to see 
every time you look at me 
you wish to god it was her with you 
well i never knew 
all the time you look at me 
i wish to god i gave her away from you 
see my baby now 
all the poetry is written about you somehow 
and every time i read the little line of poetry 
i just think about just you and me 

she called me last night 
and we talked for what seemed like the very first time 
and we, we began to see 
life is too short to run away from everything, she reads 
i don't know what you've done to me 
i don't care anymore, can't you see 
i just want love, just want love 
it's not hard, just let me know 
because every time i read a line from the book 
i realize the poetry, that poetry was written bout you and me 
all this poetry is written bout just you and me
