I Wish I Could Be There for You
Even in the busiest moments, love has a way of intruding on our thoughts. This reflection explores the longing to be present for someone who feels out of reach—and the reminder that even the smallest words can mean everything.
This week, I have so much work to do, and it’s not easy at all. The professors gave us a time limit for next week: three different topics, three days in a row. All of that is weighing on my mind right now. And yet, somehow, in the middle of everything, I stop and ask myself—how are you? What are you doing at this moment? I ask myself because I can’t ask you directly. I can’t find you anywhere. I keep looking behind every corner, but you’re nowhere to be found, unfortunately.
Only you can make my breathing quicken. No matter what, I wish I could be there for you. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing or what you’re dealing with. If you’re in trouble or facing problems, I wish I could be the one to hear it all. The bad things, the good things, it wouldn’t matter. I would be there beside you, giving all of myself, just so you could feel safer.
I will always love you. Maybe not always with all of my heart, but a part of it will always belong to you. Whatever you do, wherever you go, I wish I could be there for you.
And here it is again, another reminder. He is still with her. Yes, I’m talking about my friend and his little girl. Even after so many years apart, he’s still happy just to hear her voice when she calls to say those two little words that mean the world to him: love you.
Perhaps love is less about being near and more about the wish to be there, no matter the distance. For now, all that remains is hope, and the echo of words that never lose their power.
To be continued…
