About the Poem
I wrote this poem one night when I was trying to decide whether or not to call an ex-boyfriend who I had not talked to in a long time and still had strong feelings for. I had all of these thoughts and fears of what might happen if I called. I didn't know if he would be happy I called or if he would say nothing or even hang up.
I wrote this poem and decided to submit it here because I feel it is something everyone can relate to. Almost everyone knows the fear that overcomes us before calling such a person.
If I Called You Now |
| by Beth Rodgers |
| Would my voice cause you to tremble, If I called you now? Would there be a stony silence, If I called you now? Would you recognize my voice, If I called you now? Would a smile adorn your face, If I called you now? Would you know the pain I feel, If I called you now? Would I make you laugh, If I called you now? Would tears streak your face, If I called you now? Would you say you love me, If I called you now? Would you damn my soul to Hell, If I called you now? Would it matter tomorrow, If I called you now? Would it change my life, If I called you now? Would you hang up the phone, If I called you now? |

This poem touched me in many ways, because it flooded back memorys of my ex- boyfriend. I no where she's coming from, and i reckon every girl or guy getz that nervous feeling before callin the person you love.

I saw this poem while trying to find an ex-girlfriend on the internet. Could it be the same Beth?

I was actually looking up an old boyfriend when I saw this poem. It made me cry because I felt the same way. Thank you for making it real, that I am not the only one that feels this way!

I liked this poem, because I'm going through something similar to this, also. I like this guy I mean I talk to him daily and all but I'm always afraid that he'll hang up on me if I tell him what I really feel for him.

this captures the true feelings of that very moment in time. a moment that is too soon gone.
