Tell me where it hurts

Barely a week from Aunt A's demise, I heard a song late one night. Reeling from yet avoiding the loss, it made me feel weak. The simple yet sincere singing touched my heart.

Someone missed telling me that Aunt A called for me in her last moments. In the midst of all the grief and confusion, I do not blame anyone. My heart ached more.

Realisation hit me. While time is on my side, I should live my worth, give my best, and love my all. I do not want to regret what I missed out.

That having said...I'm still a coward in many senses. I can only hope that I will be able to make the good times last longer, give as much as my heart allows, and love as selflessly as possible.

-Tell me where it hurts-

Why is that sad look in your eyes
Why are you crying
Tell me now, tell me now
Tell me, why you're feelin' this way
I hate to see you so down, oh baby

Is it your heart
Oh, that's breakin' all in pieces
Makin' you cry
Makin' you feel blue
Is there anything that I can do

Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away

Where are all those tears coming from
Why are they falling
Somebody, somebody, somebody left your heart in the cold
You just need somebody to hold on, baby

Give me a chance to put back all the pieces
Take your broken heart
Make it just like new
There's so many things that I can do

Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away
