Your words are kind,
they are not nearly enough.
I need comfort- not advice.
I can try to look through muddied waters myself,
I just need you to grab me before I accidentally fall in.
I need to know that I will not drown.
Your words are comforting,
but I need your touch.
I need you to kiss away the tears like you usually do,
keep my face dry.
Tell me that everything will be okay.
Tell me it's not my fault.
Make me smile,
I'm not sure I know how to anymore,
but your touch is a surefire way to make me smile,
forget my problems for a moment,
to be happy.
But you are hundreds of miles away,
offering me your words.
I am sorry.
They are not enough.
Distance is to blame,
not you,
you're trying, that's admirable.
You just won't be able to fix me from hundreds of miles away.
All I need is your touch.
