my friend.
he says all is well, i feel only to spare me from it.
hes been such a good friend, listening to my dark mind.
i don’t want him to be alone with his worries(look where that has gotten me.)
but, if he doesn’t want to talk about it, who am i to push the subject?
of course, i could be wrong, and there could be nothing wrong, and i simply am being overprotective
but of course, if he’s feeling alone, he’ll want to push people away, like me.
…
what do you think?

it’s hard to comment on since i’m not there in the shoes “i” don’t “know”
i do think you probably know better than i how he truly is holding up
and if pushing the subject doesn’t feel right yet, like if it hasn’t come to that point, then just reaffirming you care could be enough for now, and keep remind him you are there, if and when he needs
a surprise hug sometimes might not be completely objectionable either, sometimes (for some) that stuff just feels awesome and helps a little
I say push. You probably wanted others to help you when you were alone. Some people just have a hard time asking. If it turns out to be nothing, he’ll just shrug it off and you can forget about it as well.
I’m sure you know better than we do. I mean you talk to him, you know how he normally acts. I think that all you can do is let him know that you’re there for him if he ever needs or wants to talk. You can’t make him talk if he doesn’t want to, but you can at least let him know that you’re there.
