There are times,
I believe,
I do not matter,
insignificant,
no one cares,
no one is there.
A friend appears,
sees the pain,
my heart ache,
distraught,
I cannot take much more,
with a look and a hug,
my pain becomes as one,
understanding how much I love,
how much I care.
Someday,
the pain will go away,
I will be the friend I was,
I am at a crossroad,
I will be back,
I will find a way,
learn to trust again.
They will wait patiently,
do the best they can
to let me know I'm loved,
I will be happy again.
