~|:|~ To: You ~|:|~

*This is a poem I wrote for a close friend of mine who was struggling emotionally. I doubt you'll see this, but I love you (as platonically as possible).*

I didn't know where to go 

When you said, "Stay away."

 But anyway, I said okay 

And walked the other way. 

You remember that day 

When you promised you'd stay? 

You shine like the stars on a clear autumn night 

On those better days when you feel more than alright 

But you're pretty and fragile, like a butterfly's wings 

And I'm scared that I'll lose that to those bad feelings. 

 There'll always be things that I can't say or do 

But even then I'll always be here for you 

If you want to laugh 

If you need to cry 

Just know that I'm here 

Even though I'm not nearby 

 Your fragile heart breaks so easily 

And I'm scared that next time It'll be because of me 

And even if it's not 

There's this lingering fear 

That next time you need me 

I might not be near. 

 I know I'm just me. 

I'm not her, 

I'm not you. 

But I'll still do my best 

 Whenever you need me to.
