"Before I forget what i meant to tell you was this: I need you, I want you here once in a while, if only very occasionally. You don't even need to bring apples or ask if I feel better, you don't need to bring anything but yourself. You don't even need to say something on the phone, just plug and I'll hear your silence on the line or the other side of the door or the other side of the fence or the other side."
