Robert de Graaf – To ******


We’re miles apart.
You’re in America, I’m in Europe.
I do not know how you are.

Hi ——, how are you?
-no reply-
I care about you
Just know that

We chatted for 3 months.
Every day
You asked me how I was
I replied
Every day
for 3 months

You started struggling.
Couldn’t keep up with school work
Low grades

You continued struggling
Grounded
“Low grades”

Now you’re not responding
when I ask how you are
You don’t answer
when I say take care of yourself

You were struggling
Didn’t like yourself
I didn’t understand

You were struggling
Wanted to harm yourself
I didn’t know how to respond

I struggle
less than you
but I struggle
in a different way
I do care about you

Are you there?
Are you okay?
Will you ever ask me how I am again?

To ——, I miss you
