And I Cried... by Ashely Brown

I sat down on the porch step,
Fireflies dancing around me,
The crickets singing their song.

The day was calm,
A peaceful one,
The kind I love.

My day?
Wonderful...
Until your call.

And then?
Extraordinary.
Better than ever,

Just the sound of your voice
Brightened my day.
But then you hung up...

And I cried.
And I missed you...
And I loved you even more.

July 2003

A/N: Oi... I can't believe I wrote that. It's all... sappy. But all in all I like how it turned out. It displayed my feelings very well, considering how quickly it was written. Of course, quick poems usually hold more meaning when coming from me than well thought out poems, because it's how I feel at the moment.. not how I felt and worded and thought and made up...

Please review. Thanks~
