Do you know how much I love you?
She ask through the phone
Her voice grew very serious now
And all of the sudden she got quiet
As she waited for me to reply back
I had to stuck in a few tears
Recompose myself
Before I tried to make out words
Because it's diffuclt to speak
When I'm a hysterical mess
"A lot" I told her
She repeated the words back "A lot"
I slid down to the floor
And lean my back againist my closet door
My chest felt like it was going explode
I tried to take deep breaths in and out
But I was going through so much pain at the moment
"I love you so much" She said over and over again
As if she was trying to reassure me that I was important
My life had some special meaning
Even if I didn't always see it
And it sounds silly
However I could feel it
Her love through the phone
She didn't have to be physically present to care for me
It didn't matter whether if we saw each other five minutes ago
Or two months ago
She loved me with all her heart and so much more
I sat on the floor and played with my shirts that hang from the pole
Finally my chest open up again
We didn't talk long but we didn't have to
All I needed was to hear her voice and instantly I felt better
I became hopeful again for a beautiful life
Because now I know that I am no longer alone
I was never alone
She was always there to love me
