hate voicemail

I hate leaving voicemails
I never know what to say

Signing off, by mistake
I almost said "I love you"

it would have been a complete
mistake! Needless to say

the only reason I didn't slip
was that I was talking in my
"professional voice" - which
would have sounded ridiculous

to say "I love you" at the end
of a message like that, all clipped

thank God, I guess. Thank

God, how awkward would that
have been? As if you needed
to hear that! As if you need
to hear that, to

well.

a bullet dodged, as I hang up
I'm shaken up, as if just because
I almost said it, it's that much more
true, and then I was

a little less over you
than I was
