When the Sun Sets On Love

It was New Year’s day
I couldn’t help myself
I just had to hear his voice

so I plucked up the courage and phoned him
It was a really long number

but as soon as he answered
I instantly knew
his opening line was  

“it’s great to hear from you”
there was an embarrassing pause…
then he said, “I’m with someone”
and at that moment I politely replied
“happy new year, I hope you have a great one”

abruptly I put down the phone
you see, phones were still attached to the wall in those days
 
and then, just then
something truly extraordinary happened
 
suddenly...
 
I just got on with my life.
