I'm always right by your side, love.

So close, yet so far.

I keep the flowers you bring me.

Roses, daisies, lilies, and tulips.

I listen to the stories you read me.

Red leaves land on the pages next to your tears.

I hear the songs you sing.

Little ballads of love, loss, longing, and sorrow.

I see your tears

And want nothing more than to dry them.

I feel your grief.

And wish with all that I was to stop it.

I know your hurt, your pain.

But I also know your spark.

Your flame.

I know how strong you are, love. But you've forgotten.

I try to tell you that you'll be ok.

But you never seem to hear me.

I try to hold you and comfort you.

But I'm nothing more than a ghost now.

Watching as you slip away.

So close yet so far.
