And if anything,
I'll let you know.
I'll leave a message.

Don't you worry.
I know that
"I'm fine"
is
the world's biggest
understatement.

The question,
if I may ask,
is

would you respond
if I call?

knowing the words
that would spill out
of my mouth
would be the very
words you
dread
to hear?

I'll just be here
waiting for your answer.

And we'll take it
from there.

From there,
we'll take it.
