I Won't - Cassidy Shay (good books to read for young adults TXT) 📗

I won’t tell you
“I’m so sorry.”
It won’t ease your pain,
Won’t make it okay.

I won’t give you
A great, long hug.
It won’t make up
For their lost arms.

I won’t try to
Understand how it feels
It won’t give you
Your healing time.

I won’t try to get
You to talk about it.
That’ll just make you
Want to break down.

I won’t walk on my toes
To make sure you’re not hurt.
It will just bring attention
To what makes you cry.

But I will…

Sit quietly.
Listening.
Learning.
Be by your side.
Protecting.
Watching.
Pray loudly.
Wishing.
Hoping.
Be there.
For.
You.
