..........Us.........

You held on longer than i, because your heart shines brighter than mine.

I could hear the sadness and desperation in your voice and told myself it wasn’t there
Your outstretched pleas grasped only the incorporeal, i wasn’t oblivious. i stepped out of reach.

But then you being you apologised for not being there. But that’s on me so that’s hardly fair. Hardly fair to you. Yet it never was, any of it so i am sorry for your sorrow.
