Vulnerable Moments

"Why can't my other friends trust me?", my friend asked.


She rested her head on my shoulder...and for a moment, the little sparkle in her eye rushed down--stopped at the outline of her face. And then, another tear followed.


I didn't know what was the right thing to do...so I just listened. 
Listened to her melancholic descant...an amalgam of her silenced sentiment and inaudible holler.


Upon gaining momentum I said together with a hug,


"I trust you."


"That's more than enough to remind me that I'll be fine...", she replied.


"You'll be fine! Trust me."
