Not You

English: Doorbell

English: Doorbell (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The doorbell rang
My heart it sang
But it wasn’t you
The telephone call
Was a rise, then fall
It wasn’t you
The letter I read
Was another’s instead
And not from you
And the email received
Gave me no reprieve
It was not from you
