Caller ID

The phone rings
familiar yet lost number
appearing on the caller ID.
"Hey"
(That's me
trying to sound cheery
while disguising my apprehension.)
The voice on the other end
comforting
yet distant
because I know
it is no longer
mine.
Every now and then
it creeps back into my head
whether born there
or placed there through the phone line
and sometimes
I find myself wishing
I was home with you again.
And then
its gone.
"Bye"
Click.
