The never talk                            
Waiting for you                              
To speak first                                  
                              
They are someone you can talk to    
When you just need someone          
Who will listen                              
Without interruption                      
Then when you are finished          
They sit there                                  

Silently pondering your woes
Then ever so quietly,
They begin to speak

Not many words
Just enough to make a point
Never engaging in useless conversation

They are always in the distance
Sitting while you talk
With other friends

They wit
Like a vulture
Waiting for prey

Only they wait
to jump to your defense
And when they do

They speak in little words
But those words are enough
To make the pain go away

While you eat lunch    
They engage in small talk
And show you their vocabulary

  This is how
My friend is, she has asked
Me not to mention her name
