To my friend

Sometimes there are simply no words. Sometimes you know that anything you might say would sound as weightless as air. Sometimes you feel so unable to do or be anything that would make a difference, though you would do whatever you could if you only knew how. Sometimes you wish that your friend could climb inside your heart to feel how much you love her and how her pain is yours - not because you can comprehend the depth of her sorrow yourself, but simply because she must feel it and you can not relieve it. Sometimes all you can say is I am here. I love you. I have all the time in the world for you. I will be who you need me to be right now.
