you say you're sad,
you cannot help but sink down, down, down.
but just know I'll be there.
no matter how
low

when  the stars burn out  and all we have left is
the rain we shared,
I'll be there.
or when you feel like everyone, everything, is gone
and you are all alone,
I'll be there.

I will be there to hold your hand,
to stay up late,
to steal you away from sleep,
just because I am jealous
that it hold you every night,
and I will not let go.

I'll be there when sickness hits,
to nurture and to heal;
when sadness strikes,
to cheer and console.

when you most need a
friend, a lover,
a hug,
the kind you fall into,  lay your head down softly,
and wrap your entirety, because the burden of this life is too strong for your worn and weary shoulders,
I'll be there, to be your Atlas.

I'll be there for you as the world turns,
and when it stops to let us off.
I'll be there.
