one red beep

  along with time and space
  my heart melted
     hearing your voice
    on the machine
   you again
 and I'm happy
  happier than I should be
  happier than I could be
   if we had never met
    this again
   feeling fifteen
 and the world is a Gobstopper world
   colorful
  delicious
Mick Jagger is singing us a song
 Buddy Holly is born inside
     my smile
 while you do your life
    with precision
 having no idea
what you have done to me
 created in me
with the shy message
  you left
on the machine
