Fix You

The flickering light bulb in your soul needs replacement.
And I’ll push the clouds on the night sky away so that you can see the moon.
I am strong for you, when you aren’t.
I will not go.
And when thoughts are dripping with sorrow like a leaking faucet;
I will find the tools to fix you.

I am aware of how this sounds. Pretentious. Fixing someone sounds wrong, doesn’t it? And I don’t mean fixing as in changing and bending the other one in this direction or that. If you love someone, you want them to be well. You don’t want them to suffer. And most often a way of healing a wound is with love – unconditional love. With your presence. And by allowing them to be who they are. Even when they are miserable just then. Love. Patience. Acceptance. It can’t fix everything. Except for sometimes, when all that matters is hearing ‘I love you and I will not leave (no matter how toxic you pretend to be).’
