I checked my email this afternoon. A friend of mine's granddad died. I wrote something:
Are you sad?
Were you two close?
I was sad when my grandma died.
I'm sorry.
I'm not very helpful.
I wonder if you're crying as I write this.
We miles apart.
If you were,
I wouldn't know.
I wonder if you're hugging one of your little sisters right now.
Telling them it's okay.
Don't cry...
Please.
If you are sad,
If you are crying,
If you loathe me for writing this,
If you hate these words I'm typing,
I'm sorry.
And I want you to know that I'm sad for you.
And if you want to talk...
That'll be just fine with me.
