All I wanted was at least one friend,

Who would willingly listen

With an open, compassionate heart;

Someone who would never depart.

Someone who would give me advice

That would help me progress in life;

Someone who would envelop me in an embrace

And wipe the tears from my face.

Someone who would tell me stories

About their childhood and their dreams,

Their aspirations and goals,

The things that comfort their soul.

Someone who had no malicious intentions

And not only wanted attention,

Because they had no one else to turn to;

Someone down to earth, loyal and true.

Perhaps if I had someone like this back then,

I would not have felt much sadness;

Perhaps if I had a genuine ally at that time,

I would have been happier with my life.
