Tell Me

Their relationship had become silent - yet he still could not let go. He appealed to a friend.

Please tell me it gets easier as time moves along. Does it help to remember, or does it help to forget? I have arranged she will remember - perhaps that was wrong.

You know the pain. Does it ever go away? Please tell me. You are here for me, but who is there for her? You hear my pain, but who will bear hers? She must hold it in, cry her tears in silence.

It is not well with her, this much I can guess. Sometimes I hope she will forget me, forget about me. But I have her promise to remember, and in silence I cannot release her. She is bound, and she is his. Tell me, please, that the pain will become less. Tell me please, for I need to have hope.

But if you tell me I will know that you lie.
