Now I am reminded

Each conversation 

Seems

To be

All about you.

Your life

Your problems.

Then another

Calls,

And it repeats.

When is it  my

Turn to talk...

Who cares?

Not you.

Not you

Or you.

Life has a

Way of making 

People selfish.

I let it go.

I push it away.

Until finally

Someone

Asks

How are you?

And they 

Listen.

I am reminded.

How important

I am. 

As I speak, 

I feel

Like someone

Cares about 

Me.

Thank you.

I say to you.

Of course,

You reply.

I love you.

I am reminded 

How others

Have told me 

This, 

But....

Do 

They ?

I 

Am reminded

How

Selfish people 

Can be.
