*"I'm here if you need me. I'm here if you need to talk, I'll listen."
I say every time I know she does
But she's always so reserved
Afraid to speak her feelings
"Thank you I'm fine, really"
Is the lie she tells every time
Followed by a fake smile
Thinking I can't tell the difference
Feelings are weakness
Is what she thinks
Her lips are smiling
but her eyes are crying
Her eyes have so much to say
But she bites her tongue
preventing it to speak
She holds on to her feelings so tight
Not knowing who to trust with it
I show her that she can trust me
I tell her that she can trust me but
She can't see
She can't hear
Look! I am here for you
You are not alone
I swear I am here
I want to be your safe haven
I want you to come to me
when you're happy,
when you're sad
Come. Talk. Laugh. Cry.
I'll listen*
