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?
