Sad by extension
I sit here saddened by someone else’s sadness.
I can’t hug.
I can’t hold.
I cannot offer that someone to be there, physically.
I can only offer my sympathies and the fact that her pain is on my mind.
The only comfort I can offer is that I am aware of your pain.
I know you are sad.
I wish I could offer more.
I am here for you by chat or by phone.
