With The Lips Of An Angel
He sat in silence watching late night television, but he wasn't at all interested in the movie as it would seem. Deep in thought, he redirects his gaze from the television to the sleeping form next to him. He can't help but wonder what his life would have been like had he never married her. Would he be happier? The faint ringing of his phone jars him out of his thoughts. Slipping carefully out of bed, he retrieves his cell from his pants pocket. His chest tightens as he focuses on the caller name on the screen.
Honey why you calling me so late?
"I just-" She pauses for a second, unsure for a fleeting moment if she should continue, "I just needed to hear your voice" He releases an audible sigh of relief. He enters the bathroom, not wanting his wife to hear his non work related one o'clock phone call.
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
She inhales sharply, not expecting him to blow her off so quickly. She chokes back a sob, silently cursing herself for showing such emotion while on the phone with him.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
"No, El, everything's not okay…"
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
"This was a mistake" Frustrated, she tries to end the call, "Liv, please…Don't hang up" He looks to his wife's sleeping form, making sure she is indeed still asleep before continuing.
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
Unable to stop the tears from flowing freely from her face, she whispers almost inaudibly.
I guess we never really moved on…
He chuckles softly, "I guess not…" He sighs heavily. "Liv…" Her name flows softly from his lips, yet speaks volumes.
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
"I still love you El. I don't think I'll never stop loving you. No matter how hard I try to convince myself that it's the right thing to do for you and your family"
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
"Jesus Christ Liv!" He pauses briefly, feeling blasphemous for involving Christ in such an adulterous conversation. "I know we said it was over, but-"
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
She laughs bitterly at the irony of it all. In a perfect world, they would be together. Obviously, it ain't so perfect.
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
"You know, I have dreamt of you every night since we ended it"
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
"Your beautiful face, your amazing body…It's an image that will forever be burned in my brain. Taunting me of what I'll never have…" He finishes solemnly. "God, Liv, what are we doing? Why are you doing this to me now? You should be happy. You should be with him…"
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
"But I'm not. I'm not with him and I'm not happy. And neither are you" She responds, not wanting to hold back what she's feeling any longer. "What about Kathy?"
No I don't think she has a clue…
"I'm tired of pretending…"
Coming from the lips of an angel
"Then don't El. Stop pretending. I have. I know what I want. I want you."
Hearing those words it makes me weak
"I want you too. So much. I want to be with you forever"
And I never wanna say goodbye
She giggles girlishly. "Then don't. Don't ever say goodbye again"
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel…
