She Feels My Pain
I had a conversation with my mom this morning, explaining the happenings of the day when out of the blue she said “Don’t you wish you were married to a better man?”
“Why would you ask that?”
“I guess maybe because you don’t seem happy. I was just wondering. You know, if you don’t talk to ____ [You] anymore, tell him I sure as hell want to talk to him.”
“Mom! You can’t say that to me! Don’t even joke.”
“Well, if he’s anything like you say he is…” She chuckled.
I’m glad she knows how I feel about you. It gives me freedom to be honest about how much I miss us. But her joking makes me feel like I belong on an episode of Jerry Springer.
Your name was spoken aloud today. For today I get to feel close to you.
