You're sad and I don't know what to do.

scared, upset, there are tears in your eyes and I'm not close enough to wipe them away.

I wish I could just wrap my arms around you,

like I used to,

and make you feel better.

But I don't know if that will help anymore.

I wonder if you'll stiffen, and wait for me

to let go.

It's been so much colder lately....

I can see the desperation in your eyes,

as I sit across from you.

Hoping for an answer that

I can't give anymore.

I'm so sorry, I can't help you.

I want to help you.

Why can't I help you?
