You know when you’re the phone with someone & you hear them cry, or maybe even they’re talking as they’re crying & there are sniffles in between the words, or maybe even when you can tell by the tone of their voice that they cried earlier or they’re holding back the tears & they’re struggling.. you know that situation ?
For me, every time I hear that, it makes me feel so bad inside. Especially knowing that you can’t be there right away for them ‘cause you might be too far away or you might be too busy with other things or simply there’s just no way you can get there at the moment. It could be from my boy, my home girl, my family member, my lover & it makes me feel useless that all I can do is sit there & not be able to physically hold em’ or have em’ lean on me but instead just listen from a distance..
I hate that feeling. I hate that I can’t be there for them.
