Try as you might, you can't seem to wrap your head around it. She trusts you. When she shuts out the rest of the world, she shares her grief with you.
She falls into your arms, looking at you with pleading eyes, as though your many years have taught you the magic words that can heal her wounds.
"Help me," she whispers.
You hold her close, your mind still refusing to believe that she's come to you, that she's let you in.
"Fix me," she pleads.
You wrap your arms tighter around her, searching for the words that might take away her pain. But in place of words of wisdom, all that comes out is a hushed, "How?"
"Love me."
And you smile. "I already do."
