Strong Friend

I am standing at the door.

You pace back and forth, I know you’re scared.

There’s something you want to tell me.

There’s something I want to tell you, more.

I can tell by looking at you that it’s important,

So i keep my mouth shut.

And I keep my eyes on you.

Just a little bit longer

Ill keep quiet.
