I Need a Friend

I need a friend who along with time can help my 
broken heart to mend. 

I need a friend who can lend me their ears, someone 
who can dry my face of the many fallen tears. 

I need a friend that can hold me tight, someone who 
won't let me go until made clear I am finally alright. 

I need a friend who has once cried, someone who 
knows what it is like to feel that inside you have died. 
I need a friend who can tell me it's okay, someone 
who knows I'm not crazy for feeling this way. 

I need a friend who needs one too, I say this now 
because I hope that this someone I speak of turns out 
to be you.
