My friend,
How much I love you
and care for you
You’ve been with me
through my ups
and my downs
I’m afraid to expose my dark side
And so are you
So we just laugh together
It’s not that you don’t trust me
It’s that you’re afraid of my reaction
It’s not that I don’t trust you
It’s that I’m afraid of being judged
We who have been friends for years,
cannot express what hurts us the most
And because we both know
how damaged we are
We smile and accept one another
You are a true friend
It takes a long time to share the darkest secrets with those you love. We have to accept each other and time will come when they are ready to share. It may hurt what they say, but this just means that they are reaching out for help.
