"I cannot go with you,"
you said.
Had I once stood
where you are as you read this,
your experience
would not be mine,
and my pain
would not have been yours.
And even if
I were to stand
by your side right now,
the same particle of light
would never touch us both.
There is no lexicon to navigate by.
"I cannot go with you,"
I said.
