To a Friend...

A moment's glance
That is all it took
To see the streaming tears
And pain shone in my face
Only a single breath taken in
Till I felt your tender embrace

For hours it seemed
I cried upon your shoulder
Your gentle hand reaching up
Trying to wipe away the tears
But old mistakes have returned
Bringing back forgotten fears

Babbling words pouring out
I struggled to make sense
You look on me with such concern
Holding my hand even as it trembles so
With an open mind and a kind heart
You patiently listen to my tale of woe

Thank you shall never be enough
You cared when no one else would
I can only promise I will do the same
In me you shall always have a friend
Though many miles may separate us
This I  promise to you, until the end

To my Teddy Bear- Words could never say what that day meant to me, but for what it is worth, Thank you
