Friend.

I remember thinking about something..
And there he stood,
Right next to me when we were alone..
He held his heart back,
Wiped away his emotions,
Like an open book to me,
He said everything I thought the other day..
When he understands you like a song..
Speaks to you, in this tone..
Just for the two of you..
He said everything I thought of..
He did everything I asked for..

I remember his voice,
Shrill in the middle of the night,
When I shivered and held myself together,
He held me close when I shed my fears,
Tear after tear, amidst my nightmares,
He made them alright..

And there she was..
Understanding this speech of mine,
Never understood by them..
I could swear they'd think the worst of me..
Word after word I felt myself being punched..
For ever wrong step I took back then..
She could just smile and make me believe..
Like a bold leader,
Leading me away from the darkness,
At times when I needed it the most,
She wiped off my tears and slipped me smiles..
Understand this speech of mine,
Understood by no other..
I was breathing again..
So thankful for every moment,
Every moment she was there..
Smiling and making sense out of nothing.
