To see you hurt is to feel the pain, but when I try to help you shy away.
That almost hurts more.
When I have a problem you know right away.
Somehow you can see past the disguise I hide myself behind.
Somehow you not only see past my defense mechanisms, but you point out that you notice each and every one of them.
I know we’ve become quite good friends, but I don’t know how someone whom I’ve only known for such a short time could figure me out when those who’ve known me for years can’t.
But then I see you hurt and I feel the pain because I know can’t help.
Why won’t you let me help?
I see your defense mechanisms too, you know?
Don’t think I don’t know what you’re afraid of, because it is the same thing that I fear.
The fears of getting too close…the fear of getting hurt by others.
I’d love to hear “thank you” not when you say it, but when you don't have to because I can see how much you appreciate it by the look on your face.
That would be when I would tell you “This is what you do for me all the time!”
Maybe then you could learn to trust me.
Maybe then you would learn how truely amazing you really are.
Maybe then you’d see me the way I see you.
Even if you don’t, I’ll still be happy because I have one incredible friend.

A well-balanced relationship has equal parts of "You" and "Me"...  

Love & Light,
