In the alphabet, there are 26 letters: 5 vowels and 21 consonants. 
In the English language alone, there are over 600,000 words all made up of these consonants and vowels. 
So many words. 
So many things already said too many times and too little. 
Originality is something to be desired; 
Because I won't be the hundredth person that day to tell you that everything will be okay.
It will all work out.
You're fine.
You'll get over it. 

No. 

600,000 words in the English language and I'm left stumbling for the right ones just to try to make you smile again.
There's not more fish in the sea because they were your ocean.
You won't be with them again soon because you need to live a long life! even if they couldn't.
The sun won't be brighter tomorrow; it will shine just the same. 
And I'm sorry. 
When you shot for the moon you couldn't reach the stars, but maybe next time if you shoot for the stars you'll be caught by the moon. 

This world is full of things unspoken and words not said even when they need to be poured out like alphabet soup we leave them in the can. 
Because it's taboo or rude, there are times when "you just don't say those things" no matter how true they may be. 
I could write you a novel of the things that I believe to be correct but that won't make the pain go away. 

A picture is worth a thousand words and heartbreak is worth a million. 
I just don't have anything useful to fill in those spaces where the words are supposed to go.

In the alphabet, there are 26 letters: 5 vowels and 21 consonants. 
In the English language alone, there are over 600,000 words all made up of these consonants and vowels. 
And I can't think of a single one to say to you.
