Homesick Hotline

I felt all alone.
My dorm, spacious and daunting
Could not console me.

Then, three hundred miles
Away, ten o'clock at night,
You lent me comfort.

Over the phone, a
Minute-draining long-distance
Call, you helped me through.

Your voice, so even
And deep, and calming, against
Mine, broken with sobs.

I became so tired:
Did you seriously stay
On the line 'till twelve?

It wasn't a dream...
You were really there for me
When I missed you most.

"Even if it takes
All night, I'll be on the line
Until you're asleep."

You said, determined
And without a single yawn.
You are so loyal.

And now, I realize
I did make it through the night
All because of you.

Thank you, thank you, thank
You, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love...

Your kindness to me.
Let me return the favor
Whenever you need.
