call me by your name

Hello.
Elio? You there?
Hi.
How are you?
I’m good,I’m good.How are you?
I’m good!They’re fine.
Good.
I missed you.
I missed you, too, very much.
I have some news.
News?
Oh, you’re getting married? I suppose…?
I might be getting married next spring, yeah.
You never said anything.
It’s been off and on for two years.
That’s wonderful news.
You are too smart not to know how rare,
how special what you two had was.
Oliver was Oliver
because it was him
because it was me.
Oliver may be very intelligent but…
He was more than intelligent.
What you two had,
had everything and nothing todo with intelligence.
He was good.
You are both lucky to have found each other because…
You too are good.
I don’t want you to go.
Right now you may not want to feel anything.
Maybe you never wanted to feel anything.
And maybe it’s not me you want to speak about these things but,
feel something you obviously did.
Look, you had a beautiful friendship,
maybe more than a friendship.
