This is for a friend of mine, it's short and sweet, though I don't know what it is exactly.

I know I’m not perfect or look like I can even give you any of the compassion I know you need. But know that if the words are never spoken my eyes tell it all, with every glance I tell you silently you can come to me. I’ll wait, giving you as much support, attention, and affection that my words will allow. But honey, my actions have always spoken louder than words. So know that every time I give you a little shove or choose to sit next to you, it’s my best way of showing I care but making it look like I’m messing around. Why draw peoples’ attention when I know that’s not what you really need.
If you need it, I’ll wait to wrap you in my arms, giving you the hug I know you deserve. Don’t be afraid to cry, there is nothing wrong with it, I know it’s one of the few ways to let everything escape. If it makes you feel better I’ll never say anything about it again, just sit silently rubbing your back trying to sooth you the best I can. Though I know I may be part of the reason why you feel so bad, I’ll try and make up for it if I can, if you’ll let me. I don’t want to lose a friend like you, you’re more important than you think, even if I don’t have the best way of showing it.
The secrets you tell me, they’ll stay tightly locked away, not even making their way to my throat. If you have to scream to feel better, I’ll listen intently as I would if you whispered. If you just can’t stay caged know that I’ll be there to take you away, it doesn’t matter when, I’m only a phone call away. I’ll always answer for you and if I miss the call, know you will hear from me as soon as possible. I mean hey, we could run away together for a little while, you know play pretend and take a brake from the misery around us. I know we will have to go back sometime, but it’s better than nothing till we can really escape to something better.
I don’t know how much I mean to you, but know that I’ll never leave you alone. When you are scared I’ll be beside you, holding out my hand. Know that when you grab hold of me, you won’t have to be scared ever again, I promise to always be there and I never break my promises. Know that when you feel like everyone has lost faith in you and given up, I haven’t. I know you are strong, you will do just fine, even if you need a little push in the right direction. If you think your efforts are in vein, know they aren’t, things will work out in the end even if it isn’t how you want it. I guess something is better than nothing.
Now I suppose in all this rambling I’ve done, amounts to just one thing. No matter where you are, no matter what happens, or what you think. I’m here for you. Even if your world starts to end, I’ll find my way to your side and help you through it. Also know that you are one of my very best friends, one of a kind in fact and I would miss you more than anything if you left. Finally, know that I would do this just for you. |
