Buck/Don:
I Hope You Know:
I hope you know as I sit by your bed, reading you these words of comfort, care, and love from another that it is because I'm too afraid to tell you my own.
I hope you know that the only reason I was still whole was because of your blue eyes, so pale yet once so strong.
Eyes, that no matter how clouded they have started to become still fill me with such strength and love.
I hope you know I will be lost without you.
That I will be broken without you.
That I will miss you.
That I love you.
Now why couldn't I say any of that?
Why can't I reach out and take your hand & kiss your fingers, mumbling words of love and comfort like I want to?
Why am I just walking away?
I hope at least you know.
