NOTE TO A FRIEND

I wrote you a note today
I hope you got it
I wrote it in my heart
It reads:
You don’t have to pretend you are fine
You are broken
I understand
You are sad its okay
You don’t have to say a word
It shows in your eyes
I hear your heart cry
‘Oh if you could only hear me ,
If you could see me ‘
Oh I see your pain
Though I may not understand it
But I want to feel it with you
I want to cry with you
If that’s what you want to do
We don’t have to pretend to be happy
We can be sad together
It’s okay to be sad sometimes
I know tears will not bring back what has been lost
But sometimes
You have to let it go
Here’s my shoulder
Lean on it
We’ll cry as much as we want to
Then when we are done
We can laugh just as hard
