I said, “I can feel your pain.” I should have said … nothing, allowing us both the touch of sorrow.
I said, “Listen to me.” I should have said … nothing, allowing us both to hear.
I said, “I think I have the answer.” I should have said … nothing, allowing us both the question.
I said, “You can be this way.” I should have said … nothing, allowing allowing us both to be free.
I said, words … with the best intentions. I should have said … nothing, allowing the Unspeakable Its way.

We both said, “I forgive you.” We should have said … nothing. As there was indeed nothing to forgive.
