"see me" -- what if ?

Mother, I need to talk to you

Honey! I was just gonna call you
Theres something that you need to know
Gone a week, I miss you already
I'm just gonna spit it out...
How is school going?
You probably guessed it years ago.
Still, it's kind of hard to say
we're so excited about your applications.
It's something that I spent so long not saying....
I told your dad, he's cheering for you.
Sometimes it's on the tip of my tongue,
but only spoken.. aloud... alone... while I'm praying
I know you'll get in everywhere.
All I ask is an open mind
Um, perhaps now isn't the best time...
it's such a lonely bridge to cross
I'm taking a friend to lunch.
I've searched for answers on my own
She's so proud of you!
And find that I'm completely lost


Mom-- please, don't say anything else. just listen.
I don't know where to start.
I can't even get the words out..
it's like they're all jumbled together.
Mom, I love you, and--
Berkeley took their waiting list!
Didn't you apply?
Mom, please listen to me.
Where did Washington go? People will be disappointed.
Mom this important, mom you need to listen
please don't shut me out here, mom you need to see me...
Please, I'm so busy here-- let me call you later, dear.
God, this is so hard to say...
I'm so afraid you'll turn away
Mom, I--
Please, I need a break, whatever it is will have to wait.
I'm going to hang up now-- I really need to hang up now.
Don't hang up, this took such courage!
I'm dying here, I'm all alone...
Just let me tell you... Mom--
Please, I can't solve all your problems.
Mother you know nothing of them!
and I'm not expecting you to find solutions
Just to be my mom and my friend....
I assure you that I am in no state of mind to discuss anything right now.
I've been waiting to tell you this... since I....
I'm going to go now.
You don't want to hear me
Can't bear to think that....
Well, you tend to dramatize
And so do you, mother
Open your eyes
Please, I have to go now
I really need to go right now
I'll call you
When mom, when are you going to call?
Soon. This week, this weekend.
We can work this out together
Maybe before then you'll get it worked out.
This is always on my mind!
I have so much on my mind.
Please don't hang up....
I have to go.
please.....
