I asked her if she was okay and she said: “I’m fine.” But when I looked into her eyes I clearly saw her struggles there
She quickly looked away And she tried her best to smile She said softly, “I’ll make it through this, It’s just taking me a while.”
I knew she was hurting And I knew her pain was deep. But she felt the burden was hers And hers alone to keep.
I reached out to her And our hands intertwined I said “I love you, my friend. So your burdens are also Mine.”
