Drift

Talk to me, not just to fill silences. But to know my silences.
Be there with me, when I’m in pain.
Even if you don’t understand it just yet, be there. I’ll let you in, in a while.
Ask me questions, about life and everything in between.
Sometimes I don’t talk because I feel like my words are not worthy of leaving me.
Take my hand and warm my fingers. They’ve been cold for too long now.
I want not much, just a bit.
Yet, you watch from a distance. As I drift away.
