You did such a good job of telling me.

Saying those words out loud?

Nothing prepares us for that 

No matter how many times they may have rattled around our heads. 

We did well. 

And when the tears come, 

And they will,

Then the silently strong hugs

And the snotty sniffy noses too.

Well?

We will be good at that too. 

I am proud of you. 

Always here;

You'll never lose me.

It's That Easy. . .

He nods.

It's seems so simple

It's that easy.

And it may have been an 

Innocuous reply

With no intent 

But the hurt that is outpouring

Burns like hell

And with each tear that forms and falls

Is a precious moment of shared history 

And all she can do is watch.

One nod.

It seems so simple.

It's that easy.

One nod

So shaken.

Can't stop the fall as

Something significant washes away.
