The girl who is never enough expects too much

The girl who is never enough expects too much Picked up the receiver and put it back down A thousand times before you never call In the very few seconds between your last call Your ring's quiet says... too much While my silent phone shouts... never enough Fingers only graze the hard keys A hundred imaginary strokes Before your reply never comes through In the pounding heartbeat between your last message Your keystroke's pause whispers... too much While my still screen wails... never enough Adoring stares kiss your eyes A million times before you never look back In the several winks between your last glance Your vibrant gaze speaks... too much While my blind eye seeks... never enough Trembling hands fall to your touch A dozen times before you never reach out In the short breath between your last stroke Your calm position quivers... too much My shaking body writhes... never enough The girl expects too much. The girl is never enough.
