Today
I saw you cry
you
tried
to hide it
but I saw
a tear
run down
your cheek
underneath
your left
eye -
you were
quick
to
wash it
away
with the back
of your
forever
trembling
hand
& you
were
quick
to
flee
the scene
of that
moment
-
& yet
it broke
my heart
to
see you
cry
&
it broke
my heart
that I can't
embrace you
& make you
feel safe
& warm
& loved
because
I know
the coldness,
I know
the anxiety
that's
overwhelmed
you,
that's
made you
cry
&
actually,
I'm feeling
it now,
as I see
you
standing
in front
of me
the way
you were
today,
in
that
moment
when
I saw you
cry
-
& I can't
help
but hope
one day
I can
embrace you
& hold you
& make you
feel loved
until
the
very
last
tear
has
dried
-
But I don't
believe
you'll ever
want me
to be
your friend
no matter
how many
of your
feelings
I share
& understand...
so I wished
if I can't
embrace
you
at least
the memory
of seeing
you
cry
wouldn't
keep
me up
at night -
but it always will.
