I Just Listen

I Just Listen

He tells me things

I'm not sure why

but I listen anyways

most times it is insignificant and simple

then ever so often

his words become dark

"maybe today it can all be over" he says out of no where.

how do I respond to that?

the next day it's as if his thoughts are far

from where they were before.

So again I just listen.

Not sure that I understand all of what he says

but now I am mesmerized by his comfort

his trust in my silence.

It is only by coincidence that we sit together

for this I know 

but he says more than is ever needed

and his trust is more than I've ever wanted.
