The sad look in your eyes, breaks my heart. I don't know what it is, but then I might know what it is. I don't need to know if you are okay, I can see it in your expression. The limpness in your bottom lip, the way you shoulders are slumped over, the way your eyes glide their way to me and then look back at the table. That's a stupid question. I won't ask you that. But I need to know if you will be okay. When? I don't care when. The sooner the better though. But if you feel like you will be okay, that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and find your way out of the mess, then that's all that I need to know. I just want to know, Will you be okay?

Will You Be Okay
