he isn't in any of these pictures
we only see each other every other month or so
but i love him just the same
tonight we met in a parking lot
we talked for a couple hours
about secrets
his are catching up with him
i wish there was something i could do
there isn't
well i suppose there is
i can listen?
i can listen.
and "be there" whatever that means
it just doesn't feel like enough
and sometimes i wish i could just "fix him"
and all i mean by that is that i wish I could make him see himself the way i see him
smart
hilarious
insightful
my friend
(not in any of these pictures)
