I need you,my dear friend
your gentle listening
softest shoulder to cry on
compassionate eyes
warmest hand to hold
tightest, most loving embrace
I need desperately
the loving small gestures
that speak volumes of love
without words.
I need your protection
most of the time, from myself
There are times it s pouring
rains of fire over me
and all I need is your fireproof umbrella
to shield me for a while
to catch my breath
I need your soul
bare in front of me
I d find myself shelter there
if only for a moment.

but I won t say a word, my friend
and I can t help to ache
at the reality
that you don t notice..
