A Phone Call
I never thought I would have a connection with you.
You always seemed distant and cold.
Always wanting to talk about
Work or school.
Mostly about the future.
But when you were concerned about me
I called
and we talked about how you were effected by a mental illness
And you were proud of me for talking about it
Naming it for what it is.
Because when you name it
It loses its power over you.
I just hope you realize that.
