Remember that Day

Remember that day?

That one day?

Do you?

I do. 

I remember.

I remember it well. 

You told me

Just one thing,

One little story. 

But in that story,

There was so much pain.

So much misery. 

And I listened. 

I heard it all. 

And it wasn't easy for you,

I heard the sound of your voice. 

And I saw the look in your eyes. 

I knew it wasn't easy to tell. 

It wasn't at all. 

But there you were,

Spilling your secrets

Into my ears,

And into my heart,

And I will remember that moment forever. 

You did so much for me,

Telling that story. 

You showed me a part of your soul,

That part hidden from the world. 

And someday,

Maybe,

I can show you one of mine.
