When I see you again,
I will wonder,
wonder if you are still hurting...
But I will not dare to ask.
I will watch to see if your smile
is dimmer than before.
If your demeanor is not
what it was.
I dare not ask about something
of which I should not know.
And yet my heart is yearning,
for ways to let you know,
that no matter what should hurt you,
I'll always have your back.
And if you ask the slightest thing,
I promise you'll never lack.
I wish that there was some way
that I could tell you that I care,
that my heart is sobbing on behalf of your pain,
and that I'll always be there.
No doubt you'll show a brave front,
not letting on to what has happened.
But I will know and always admire
your courage and determination.
Like other obstacles in your life,
this one will not find you bitter (I hope),
but instead you will continue to touch
all those that you encounter...
And if I can do anything to
brighten your days again,
to bring even one smile to your face,
rest assured it will be done.
The worst feeling in the world
is to feel helpless to help one out,
who has so deeply touched your life,
and helped you get back on track.
