Our Hearts Break

My heart is breaking
I love you so much
& for all the time you have
spent by my side.

In this hour of pain
I watch you suffer;
nothing I could do,
or say,
will save your heart from breaking.
We weep.

Although I am far
away from you,
know that I stand
next to your heart.
Grasp onto me -
I will help you stand.

You are more to me
in this lifetime of friendship & love -
how am I so lucky to be able to say
how much you mean to me.

I will always be there for you
& I will always take your pain
& gladly place it onto my
own shoulders to bear.
This is what best friends do.
I am here.

Our hearts break
in this senseless pain.
I will hold you close -
lean on me dear friend.
I am here.

Me & you.
Thank God for that.
