It Goes

he said to her,"you got someone?"
"What do you mean"she whispered
he reached over with his hand and gently tapped her hand and said....
"you know someone you love"he said gently with his eyes closed
"Yes" she said back to him.

he nodded to himself and tears rolled down his face and he said,"thats good,hold on to it for as long as you can,hold on to it for when that person is not there any longer it can fill the emptiness without them.

silence filled between them then he spoke once more..
"forget what I just said,it won't be enough,it's never a enough
and there is no moving on,theres just forward walking on you're knees blinded by  tears.
