let love grow

I saw your face, and those eyes, how they cried silently. So small, so scared, so alone. I can't dismiss your fears, not with a smile and not even with a hug. I wanted to embrace you and tell you how much you were loved, and something so much higher was at play, working and changing your life in a way that you wouldn't understand, not now, not the way you are. Instead, I became tired, almost as if the weight was becoming too much for me. 

I can't seem to erase those boys, and I wish I could do more, but I know I can't. I just have to hope that love will definetly conquer all.
