The night is never long enough.

For a moment in time you needed me.

I was amazed.

Like a moth to a flame, I could not resist.

Being there for you.

Holding you.

Like I always tried to do.

You spoke of words unspoken.

As though there were secrets left to share.

Were you trying to give me courage?

Or yourself?

I only ever left one thing unsaid.

Instead of pushing me away,

You should have asked me not to leave.

Just once.

All I ever wanted was for you to need me the way I needed you. Somewhere along the way I realized that it's your loss, not mine, if you don't.
