"I love you too dad.
I miss you.."
I say that out loud while on the phone with him but I'm silently pleading
Please don't hang up. Please. I haven't talked with you in weeks. Please don't hang up. Please no. I miss you. We talked less than 2 minutes. Please no...
But of course
He hung up
He can't hear my silent pleads
I just
I just wanted to talk.
But of course he's busy
As always
I'll just pretend that it didn't happen.
Like always
