About This Quote

"When you cried, I learned what helplessness tastes like. Because all I could do was swallow." is a phrase that conveys the idea that when you cry, you cannot do anything but swallow. It feels like there is nothing you can do. Your tears are useless in the face of the pain that is already there. You can’t change it or make it go away, and you constantly feel powerless and overwhelmed by it.
