                              Please Ask 
                          Someone asked me about 
                                       you today 
                            It's been so long since 
                            anyone has done that. 
                           It felt so good to talk 
                                       about you, 
                      To share my memories of you, 
                               To simply say your 
                                    name outloud. 
                           She asked me if I minded 
                                    talking about 
                           What happened to you.. 
                               Or would it be too 
                            painful to speak of it. 
                              I told her I think of 
                                     it every day 
                       And speaking about it helps 
                                    me to release 
                          The tormented thoughts 
                             whirling around in my 
                                            head. 
                               She said she never 
                                 realized the pain 
                            would last this long... 
                           She apologized for not 
                                   asking sooner. 
                                       I told her 
                               "Thanks for asking." 
                             I don't know if it was 
                                        curiosity 
                        Or concern that made her 
                                             ask, 
                             But told her, "Please 
                              do it again sometime.. 
                                           Soon."
