To him, it was a simple act of kindness
For her, it was the key that unlocked her heart
She was brought up that way
To be able to stand on her own
She had been independent for so long
She had forgotten how much relief tears could bring
He was like any ordinary passerby
Easily forgotten and insignificant
Yet he was the one who held out his hand
Where others told her to rise on her own
His hand was warm
While his presence was comforting
In his absence
The silence and emptiness were heartbreaking
She sat alone in her room
Her tears flowing freely
She wanted to let him know
That the creeping cold frightened her
That the ache within was unbearable
That she wanted to be with him
That she needed to be with him
If only she would tell him...
If only he knew... |
