failure

failure?

failure wasn't seeing the cut on your arm and not saying anything.

failure wasn't mentioning it, and you not sharing anything at first.

failure wasn't me begging you to tell me, and you sharing it.

failure wasn't giving you a hug, and feeling a single tear, when I had never seen this side of the funny, strong boy I loved and cared about.

failure?

the only failure was not being there to prevent it before.
