"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 you here.
"I cannot go with you,"
I said.
