I Wept With You

Today you Spoke of your sorrow. I didn’t know what to say.

“It will get better with time” I lied.

Loss like this isn’t something that time will heal , it lingers. But one day, someday, you will no longer forget they are gone and that, no matter how meager, is something. I searched for anything that might bring some joy back into your eyes, but all I found my own loss and I knew the depth of your pain. You told me that you are sad, I believed you, I wept with you, what more could I do?
