if you need someone to talk to today
talk to me

if you’re grieving
and the body-blow of loss has flattened the air from your lungs
talk to me

if you’re confused
and seeking clarity from indecision
talk to me

if your heart is bursting with good news
and there’s no one around to toast your happiness
talk to me

if you just need a friend
to share what’s on your heart today
talk to me
