Your Friend

I can be trusted, One;
To handle the fragile frame,
To hold fast this gemstone
To prove my name.

I won’t just laugh with you,
I will make you laugh,
I won’t just cry with you,
I’ll soak your pain;
To care for you,
To prove my name,
I’ll be selfish.

Your happiness benefits me,
I’ll be silly,
I’ll be flippant.
You might be vexed at me,
But you’ll never say,
‘He left me in the rain.’
There will be no day
I didn’t share your pain.

I can be trusted;
To warm your heart to no end,
To prove my name, when I’m called,
Your Friend, my friend.
