You almost got me

I was about to say yes, but:

then your phone rang
you didn't ask
you didn't solve it
you said you'd give me time to think about it
you offered another option
your voice quivered and you cleared your throat and sounded uncomfortable
you never called back
you forgot me

Most of the time, we're closer than we think, but we stop.
