He wants to help her. He knows she's hurting in the same ways he is--and even more ways beyond that. Please, he wants to help her.
And he realizes--it can't just be one of them. Supporting the other, bearing the weight, wearing the smile while there's still ache inside. It might mean heartbreak. And it might mean facing things that want to stay submerged.
But they're stronger than this. He knows that. Together, they can get through this. Together, they can cry. And together, they can mend.
But it begins with uncovering wounds to let them breathe and heal.]
...Still. Still. I said I'd always be there. And I'm not.
