Bits and Pieces

the friend in need

I like
When people come to me for help
I love
When people come to me in need

Because if I can make
Their burden a little lighter during the day
Their smile a little lighter during the night
I would do so
In a heartbeat

But sometimes
When out of the blue
Someone offers a kind word, seeking nothing in return
When someone chooses to seek me out
Not out of need, but out of want
I feel honored
I feel touched
They remember me

For I think I have been the friend in need for so long
I forgot how it felt to be the friend indeed.

so to the friend
who asked me if i'm up
only to wish me goodnight
Thank you <3
