Because if it had have been you who it happened to
I would have been there
I wouldn’t have cared about the missed pay check, even though you are financially more secure than I am
The added expenses
The disruption to my own life
I would have been on the plane or in the car
I would have helped with meals, caring for pets, going with you to scary appointments
I wouldn’t have asked for anything, I thought that was what you did when you loved someone
Every time I think of you it hurts because if it had have been you,
I would have done so much more
