"What's on your mind today?" she asked,
"Oh, you know," I said, "the usual mix;
Things that I shouldn't stress about,
Things nobody can fix.
The hopeless hopes, the fearsome fears,
The same old thoughts, both light and dark:
Some that come and then quickly go,
Others that leave their mark."
"Anything I can do?" she asked,
"I know loneliness can be tough."
And thanking her, I shook my head,
"Your being here's enough."
