You

I talked to you tonight,
   and thought about 
   all the guys I could
   have liked since I moved here.
I picked up the phone
   and dialed your number
   from memory, even after
   the year that is between us now.
I thought about you, too,
   in the torrid sun,wondering
   if the heat was getting to you.
   Was that all that was between us?
I play the songs that remind me,
   one for each of you.
I wonder who the 
   next one will be for.
I wonder, with all of you
   crowding my heart,
   if there will be room
   for the one that's right,
When you come along.
