A Path Back to Love
May I have your key?
It was lost long ago.
Will you let me in when you find it?
No, not yet. It’s too soon. I have lost hope in finding it.
Will you at least try once more?
Someday…. maybe.
Can I walk with you?
Yes, but not too close.
Will you allow me to touch you?
Yes, but only lightly.
May I hold your hand?
Yes, but not too tight.
Do you ever become tired?
Always.
Will you let me carry you?
I do not need your sympathy.
It is not sympathy. I am trying to be your friend.
I used to have friends, true friends.
I’m on your side.
(Silence)
Do you ever cry?
Every night.
Do you become lonely?
Silence ha
