hey! bear! how's school?

i miss you,

so whatcha been up to lately,

how have you been?

i am so sorry but i only have five minutes left i promise
that i'll call back later,

hey, uh i am sorry to cut you short but uh can you hand the phone to your sister?

daddy? why don't you ever care about me anymore?

dad? why don't you ever listen to me anymore?

dad? what is so wrong with me that you don't talk to me?

daddy please talk to me again,

not how you talk to me now,

talk to me how you talked to your bear,

talk to me like you still love me,

please.
