there isn't a way to measure the weight of another person's heart
particularly when you know
just how close
their heart is to breaking
so we stop
we hold the hands of the people
we love
and
we carry their hearts
to help lighten their
load
life is hard sometimes
and bearing that unexpected and unforeseen
weight
isn't easy-isn't fun-isn't what we thought we'd ever have to
do
but
because we
love
we carry the heart
gabby...
*e*...
we can't bring Alex back
but we can always remember when she was able to
be.
and then we come together and carry one another
our hearts
in-out-never alone
together.
i love you both more than words can say-
you are amazingly good people
something that carries my heart-everyday.
