Beside you...

Angel,

I do not know if you will ever see this... I do not know if it is something that you want or need to hear... I don't know if in some way it is best for you to not hear it right now...

But this message is here, if ever you should need it.

I can see the hurt and sadness in you. I can see where it is being held in, and where it is escaping you... I can see your tenderness and the wanting to let go. I can see the strength in you too - especially your strength. I can see that those who do not know you, will not see your pain.

I know how big the feelings are that you are feeling - and I know that you will push through. I know that you will want to push through on your own and on your own terms.

I don't know how you do what you do.

Seeing you now, every fiber in me so badly wants to help carry some of your pain or offer some comfort. I wish that I could help but I know that to try would only make it worse for you. All I can offer is me and whatever comfort my company might provide.

I will leave you to handle your hurt as you need to - you know where I am and how to reach me - and I will forever be exactly where I belong - even if you cannot see me...

Beside you...
Always..

Just me.
