You didn't mind my Skinner jokes.
You didn't take them personally.
You laughed as I cast doubt on half your theory
You were good like that.You didn't judge me.
Well, you slipped a couple of times
But I could tell by the look on your face that you noticed
And that was good enough for me.You didn't insist that I look at you.
You stopped my 'hysterical reaction' of curling up and wrapping my hands round my head when I was asked a question I found hard with one simple statement:
'It is hard to do therapy with you when you do that'.
You believed I was trying
And you were determined to help me try harder.I thought of you like a big sister.
I figured you were pretty smart
But you never told me how smart.You never told me you had a career as a historian but got f*cked off with departmental politics so decided to become a clinical psychologist instead.
We used to talk about history and facts.
You didn't mind talking abstractly :-)
I only found out after you left.
When I found out you married someone who used to be the secretary for the philosophy department.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!!!
I suppose it wouldn't have been appropriate...I miss you.
You helped me.
And now I am going to cry.
