one of the few

thank you   you're my timekeeper
seeing me flower
maybe even helping a little
you watched my lack of coordination
deepen into a strength of understanding
you watched my innocence
warp into a sense of cynicism
you held my hand when i realized
that when someone hits you
it really does hurt in more ways than one
you put blankets over me
when i turned my insecurities
into an alchoholic black-out
you made me coffee the morning after
you tried to understand when 
i slurred my terror and mistrust 
at you
you pretended to care when i told you about 
how no one could ever love me because i am way too
emotionally messy and frightened
maybe you did care then
you say you do now
i wish i could see you as you say you see me
i wish i could see myself as you say you see me
i wish i could love you back
youre a real nice guy
youre one of the few
