Ping Me

I know it isn't fair to ask for something

That I may not return

Sometimes I get so absent-minded

I come off unconcerned

I guess it's true, I may have volunteered

I never dreamed that I would end up here

I wouldn't want to take up any time

Just let me know that I have crossed your mind

And ping me

You don't have to ring me

There's no gift you need to bring me

No song that you should sing me

Just ping me

When so much time has passed you wonder

Are things really the same?

And if my expectations are a burden

Then I will take the blame

It doesn't bother me to be alone

I've gotten used to being on my own

A little sustenance is all I need

A small reminder that you think of me

So ping me

You don't have to ring me

There's no gift you need to bring me

Not a song you that you should sing me

Just ping me

I thought I'd never have a friend like you

Someone who loves no matter what I do

I hope you know I feel the same way too

And I will be there if your need is true

But I have always been a solitary man

I try to change but find I never can

So please forgive my distant silences, my friend

You're in my heart until we meet again

Just ping me

You know you don't have to ring me

There's no gift you need to bring me

There's no song you need to sing me

Just ping me

Just ping me
