"You can be honest with me.."
"I know.. I'm ok."
"You're not ok... Tell me."
"You don't tell people you are not ok." I pause, swallowing the million tears that wanted to escape me that time, but I couldn't let them, they would never stop if I let them flow. "Because it's hard watching them struggle to help you.. And then you end up comforting them when the one who needed comforting was you.."
