Fingers Crossed

i heard his voice on the phone i was so happy to hear it again, untill he told me why he called. Holding in the tears i didnt speak of it to my parents as they had the right to know, by him and him alone. knowing the words that were spoken i saw my dads face turn from a smile to a frown whilst he was on the phone. the time of his leave was to close to comfort and his destination to far from home. i told my friend, she said everything is gunna be ok fingers crossed. holding onto those words my gut tells me otherwise. my fingers i tell you, will be glued together for a very long time.
