There were times when I could see what you were going through.  I wanted to talk to you.  Tell you every thing was going to get better.  Show you that you weren't alone.  I wanted to talk to you about it all.
But I couldn't.  There are reasons for that.  You and I both know them all too well.
But we both found a way didn't we?  And I know I can speak for you when I say that you felt the same way.  Were both just too far apart.  It wasn't about what we said it was about making that effort and knowing that the other didn't necessarily understand but was there and was willing to.  You always ask the same question and I always give the same answer.

How are you?...I'm just tired but I'm fine thanks for asking.
We both know why I'm tired.
We both know I'm not fine.
But we both know I'm glad you asked.

Thank you for asking the same question over and over again every time.
I'm sorry it's the only answer I can give.
Thank you.
