No One Ever Can

"I just feel so broken, everything is so wrong. I just want to be happy" she said as the wind rustled her hair and the tears streamed down her rosy cheeks. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say. I looked out to the dark sky and vast angry ocean. I need an answer, I need to show her that it is going to be alright. "I know" was all I could say. She reached out to grab my hand. Her warm hand laced my cold pale fingers "I know you know". I felt the rumble of a sob deep in my throat. The birds sang their evening songs all around me, how I wish I could be one of them. "I am afraid I am going to loose you. I just want to know that you are going to be okay", she said. I will never be okay. "You don't need to worry about me", I replied "I love you so much of course I worry" Silence. She cleared her throat "I'm sorry that I don't understand" "No one ever can".
