The sadness in your eyes frightens me –
I never noticed the pain until now,
Or perhaps I chose not to…
I could hold you in my arms,
If it took your pain away,
But even if it did not you would pretend to feel okay.
I am frightened of what I see in you –
As much as you try,
To hide your struggle…
I can still feel your agony,
I wish that it belonged to me,
And you were happy as you used to be.
Even when you smile –
The grief is still there,
Sit with me, stay with me…
Tell me what you think,
Tell me what you want to do,
It can be just between me and you.
The sorrow still frightens me –
Something changed and I’m not sure why,
I never noticed until recently…
The sparkle is fading,
Your laugh a little forced, you wash hands even if they are clear of dirt,
You slip into silence and never notice, you move as if you hurt.
The gloom seems to consume you –
But if I speak her name,
You smile and the light returns…
For those moments you tell of her,
I don’t think you even notice in the moment,
But I can’t help but to wonder where you went.
So please, talk to me, I will listen…
I hate the way your tears betray you and glisten –
But I have not asked, not until now
For you to let me help you, tell me how…
I know you are afraid, so am I,
So you don’t have to tell me and I will not ask you again why –
But just assure me that you are alright…
Promise me you aren’t giving up your fight.
Author notes
I actually did not mean to write this out but I was doing some freewriting and this is what happened.
To my Italian -
I have been thinking about you and what I have seen recently and I am worried, I have never seen this in you and it worries me that you are falling apart inside and deciding to keep people out. I'm not asking you to tell me everything but just know that you don't have to keep it all bottled up inside, I love you very, very much and if you need me - I am yours.
Please tell me what you think

I do not know how to help him, I know we (you and I) can be there for him when he needs us. I do not even know how long it has been like this, and still he will not tell me what is going on...but I will not try to push him into telling me, I will only wait until he is ready...If you know - do your best to get him to talk, to share what is going on because keeping it inside will only make it worse. I will wait patiently for him to tell me, when he is ready he will but I will do what I can for now. I love you Amy.
Be well.

Anyway, I need to speak with you as soon as possible, it's important. See you.

This reminds me of this:
If I could save time in a bottle, The first thing I would do, is save every moment of eternity just to spend a moment with you.
Excellent!
Lo-Amo Salute!!!
