These three are perfection. You state so much, so eloquently, in so few words and lines. I admire your ease with haiku, a form I find very challenging. Great response to the prompt!

If one day you feel like crying,
Call me.
I don’t promise that I will make you laugh,

But I can cry with you.

If one day you want to run away,
Don’t be afraid to call me.
I don’t promise to ask you to stop,
But I can run with you.

Excellent prompt response.
