Sometimes she goes quiet
not because she doesn’t need you,
but because she doesn’t want to be a burden.
She’ll say she’s okay,
even on days she isn’t.
She’ll smile through the silence,
missing you more than she admits.
She won’t ask for gifts.
She won’t ask for help.
All she’s really hoping for
is a few minutes of your time
and the sound of your voice.
One day, the phone may stop ringing.
And by then,
there may be no missed call
to return.
