it is endless,
it is full
and yet seems empty.
It hurts us.”

Our own front door can be a wonderful thing,
or a sight we dread;
rarely is it only a door.

Now something so sad has hold of us that the breath leaves and we can’t even cry.

At least let me know whether or not I hurt you.

So it’s true,
when all is said and done,
grief is the price we pay for love.

Liebe ist ein grosses Wort.
Nur ein Narr hat keine Angst davor!

I’m fine …
“I’m fine. Well, I’m not fine – I’m here.”

Sometime it was best…
Sometimes you weren’t supposed to share pain.
Sometimes it was best just to deal with it alone.
