Communication

They say the key to any relationship is communication,
But what's communication's key?
How can I grab his attention long enough,
To make him listen to me?

He's busy all the time,
There's certainly no time for me.
I get a call every now and then,
Between his friends and his Xbox 360.

His calls are just to inform me,
That he's moving on to something new.
A new task that will distract him from me,
When the time to talk to me is due.

I can't get a word in edge wise.
I can't even get an "I miss you" out,
Before he hangs up the phone,
And begins treading all about.

I wish he could just understand,
That I need his voice to get through the day.
That I need just a few minutes of his time,
To make all my insecurities fall away.

A little communication is all I need,
Not much time at all.
I'm not asking him to give up his life,
Just to give me a short call.

I'm not asking him to give up,
His friends or his Xbox.
I'm just asking for a little consideration,
And a few tiny time blocks.

What's the key to communication?
I have yet to find out.
I'll continue searching though,
In my heart and all throughout.
