letter to a friend
you tell me that you'll always be there,
but it's hard for me to believe.
all my life the people i learn to love
just up and leave - they disappear.
i've never known another who
means it when they say those words.
most of the time i let them in
and then they change, then we fight,
then we decide to say goodbye
in haste - when angry - and speak nevermore.
we've known each other for a short time
but already it feels like my whole life.
with nothing and everything in common
it's like i've always known you.
when times are bad, you're standing there with
and open heart, and open mind and open arms
unlike so many in the past who
simply ignore that something's wrong and
close their heart, their mind and their arms.
i appreciate having you there like that -
i appreciate you in general.
i just want you to know that all of this
is also true for you. i'm always here,
i'll always care, i'll always have
an open heart, and open mind and open arms
for you to turn to, should you need them.
i won't repeat the past again, at least
not with you -
thank you for caring when no one else did,
and let me know when you need the same.
love always,
landita
