Liam
I called you today,
I dialled hopefully, praying it would be on.
just to hear you say
My eyes blurred with tears.
you were not around
"Hey,
this is Charlie Pace, you know the score. Leave a message and I might
get back to you. Maybe."
When the message was through,
I checked his messages. There were none.
though I wanted to
Did
I want to hear the final beep?
I couldn't make a sound
I
punched in the redial button.
I wanna tell you the things I've
seen
"Charlie,
it's Liam. If you get this... Well, I just want to say, I'm sorry.
Please Charlie. Don't die. I need you."
I wanna take you
to where I've been
I
staggered to the medicinal cupboard and found the paracetemol.
And
I wish you were here with me
If
Charlie was gone, then I'd go too.
Don't you know
I
gulped them down.
Charlie
I'm
writing to say
Stuck in a deadly paradise.
Had a wonderful day,
I
wish I had my phone. That would give me some comfort, even if there's
no signal.
Hangin' with my friends
Wait
a minute! Sawyer could have it.
But the memory dies
I need my phone before I go mad!
as the sun leaves the skies
You always loved sunsets, Liam. I wish you could see this one.
I'm alone again
Yes!
Got my phone off Sawyer!
I wanna tell you the weather is fine
One
missed call - I check my voicemail.
When the night comes around
"Charlie,
it's Liam. If you get this... Well, I just want to say, I'm sorry.
Please Charlie. Don't die. I need you."
you were on my
mind
Oh
god. Oh godohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod
And I
wish you were here with me
I
dial his number...
Don't you know
Don't
do anything stupid...
Karen (Liam's wife)
I
wanna tell you the things I've seen
No
Liam. Don't give in.
I wanna take you to where I've been
Megan
and I need you so much. Now that I've had that miscarriage.
And
I wish you were here with me
Please
Liam. Don't give up. Please.
Oh don't you know
If you give up, I'll kill you.
Liam
I called you today
Well, that worked.
just to here you say
I'm in a coma. Have been for weeks, if what the doctors say is true.
you were not around
My
phone goes off. It shouldn't even be on!
When the message was
through,
Karen picks it up. I hear her gasp. "Liam! It's Charlie!"
though I wanted to
Before
I realise what I'm doing, I sit up and grab the phone.
I
couldn't make a sound
"Liam
- it's me. You better not have done anything stupid! And yes, I am
alive..."
I'm writing to say
I punch the air. He's alive!
Had a wonderful day,
Megan
climbes onto me and started hugging me.
Hangin' with my friends
"Liam."
Karen whispers. "I lost the baby."
But the memory
dies
I shrug. She knows what I mean
as the sun reach the skies
I can feel the sun on my face.
I'm alone again
But you're still not here, Charlie. You're late.
Ok, this was rubbish, but R&R anyway!
