Friendship

Let me
Hug away your unshed tears
Stifle all your dread and fears
Care for you in that special way
Only a true friend can.

Help me
Fathom what you are feeling
Understand the meaning
Behind your loud silence
The pressure to be man.

Count on me
To be there for you
when I don't know what to say
When words fail anyway
Will my presence do?

And don't thank me,
My friend
Because I thank you.

-Maia-
