I INTENDED TO CALL

It could be said we only met by chance
We talked, laughed and even had a dance
Though the hours were a measly few
Oh alright it was really only two
I have to say there was a connection
It was more like a true recognition

So when I had to go and told you so
And you whispered that I you had to know
I was on cloud nine, eighteen and twenty seven
As I checked my watched cleary showing eleven
My ride impatiently tugging my arm once more
I knew our goal was the same for sure

I knew I could catch your number real fast
So I did thinking, "this is it at last"
I got it right of that I was sure
I even scribbled it in my hand by the door
All the way home I thought of calling
If I did then would it be appalling

I stopped for nourishment on the way
"Hurry! It doesn't take long to pay"
I called good night real quick at my gate
Couldn't hear the last words I didn't wait
I had to make a quick stop though I dashed
Used the bathroom then my hands I washed

Now I was ready to call I headed to my room
Then I realized my plans are doomed
I hope you realize I meant to call
If only I had not stopped in the hall
If only I had think twice as I stood at the sink
I would realize soap and water will erase ink
