i wish
i could take all of your sadness
lift it off your shoulders
free you from the weight
i’d crumple it like paper
throw it to the ocean
carry it myself if i had to
i wish
i could give you all the summer days
from my jar of memories
reflect the starlight i see in you
back to your soul
but i haven’t figured out how
so for now
i’ll walk beside you in silence
