When
When
When you feel the need to talk,
I will listen.
When you feel the need to cry,
I will let you cry upon my shoulder.
When you feel let down,
I will lift you up.
when you fell lonely,
I will be there.
When you need to be comforted,
I will comfort you.
When you feel the need to leave,
I will understand.
When you come back,
I will accept you.
Marylynn Dumont, 1988
remember I will always be in your heart.
