Though I think not

To think about it,

I do think about it

And shed tears

Thinking about it.

—Ryokan

I could have said good morning.

Are you hungry?

Did you sleep okay?

Are you warm enough?

They say it might rain today.

You look happy.

Sounds like fun.

Sounds perfect.

Have a good time.

Enjoy yourself.

Love your shoes.

Love your hair.

Sure.

Relax.

Not a problem.

It will work out.

I wouldn’t worry if I were you.

You’re a hard worker.

You’re a good person.

You’ll figure it out.

You’ll do the right thing.

You can always change your mind.

I think you’ll do just fine.

It will be OK.

Take your time.

There’s no hurry.

I understand.

I trust you.

I love you.

I’m proud of you.

I’ll be here when you get home.

Because bad things really do happen to people we love, and we might wonder if we could have said something different.
