A Friend
Right now I don't need you to lecture me because,
I've already heard.
I need you to be a friend,
And shut up and listen.
I need you to understand
Because no one else does.
I need you to give me advice
Because no one else will.
I need you to know where I'm coming from.
Because right now that's what a friend would do.
But you turned up your nose
And told me I was wrong
And called me a name,
That a friend would never call a friend.
Well I guess that when
Real situations happen,
Real friends appear.
