if you put up walls,

I won't tear them down

I'll sit outside and talk to you

until you're okay enough

to let me in

if you push me away

i won't come closer

you know I'm here for you if you need someone

if you get mad at me

i won't yell back at you

I'll just give you a hug and hope it helps

because life is hard, honey I know

and you don't need another person to make you feel more alone

so if you can't see the bright side

I'll sit with you in the dark

holding your hand

and listening to the beat of your heart.
