I listen to you,
you tell me ¨Thank you¨
And I am stuck between
¨you're welcome¨ and ¨I'm sorry¨
You're welcome I helped you makes it seem like you were a burden to me.
I'm sorry I couldn't fix everything makes it seem like I was a burden to you.
And this isn't about me.
So instead, I tell you ¨Of course¨
Of course I am going to help you, even if I dont have all the answers.
Of course I am going to be here, even if I can't hold you in my arms like I know you need.
Half the time when you thank me,
I wont even respond.
I'll show you I heard you with a smile, and ask again if you're ok.
I dont deserve a ¨Thank you¨
For being a human being.
