Friend

as depression settles in the tears come out and there's that one friend you cant do without they are by your side every day and night doing everything they can to help you win this fight but no matter what they do nothing seems to work when others ask "are you ok?" you hide your pain with a smirk but nothing fools that dear best friend they see the pain behind the smile they wrap their arms around you, pull you close and whisper "it will be okay in a while" in their arms, head on their shoulders you let the tears go, start to shake they say nothing, let you vent willing to listen no matter how long it may take you want to die, but know you cant the pain will continue, but you will too then suddenly a smile graces your face as your friend whispers three little words "i love you"
