He appeared out of nowhere
He was charming and bright,
I was cynical and cold
Trying to push him away
He asked how I was
I bitched and cried
doubted and hoped
He never let me down
He was bluntly honest
explaining and stripping my fantasies from reality
I hated and felt lost
then I dealt
He painted pretty pictures in my head
I left them there
wondering if I could believe them
I don't know if I ever did... but they are still there
He stayed through my pain
He stayed through my doubt
He tried to see the real me
and tried to guide me to peace
He faded as my strength came back
perhaps that was the purpose he was to serve?
When long-time friends stick by during hard times
that is special
but even more so,
the friends that show up when the hard times do
and see them through with you.
Thank you Carter
