I am here to hold you.
To hold you without being there,
without wrapping my arms around
and squeezing you tight.
To protect your heart
while it stays inside, 
beating like a drum,
keeping it from sinking.
To hold your hand
and walk through the day
even when you feel stuck – 
unable to move.
To catch you
when you feel you will fall, 
when gravity becomes too much
to bear- trying to crush you.
To help you stand
when you crack and crumble,
when you seem to break
when you think of me.
I am here.
I am here with you – 
In you – 
Beside you –
Here…
And gone.
