The worst feeling in the world is helplessness. Especially when you see someone who is 'down-and-out' but you can't do a single thing about it
except...

*try to be a comfort to her if she'd accept it.
*buy her ice cream at 11:00 at night just because she wants some.
*leave her little notes at unexpected times.
*remind her of her beauty and her ability to make beautiful things.
*watch a movie with her.
*get her out of the house once and a while.
*nickname her after a jazz song. my melancholy baby.
*give her someone to talk to.
*do anything to get her mind elsewhere.

but everything is really just trying to make her smile.

Does that still seem so long?
