I know that I'll never have the pleasure of being your first choice.
But when you're faint and you choke on your words, I'll be your voice.
I will listen to you, attentively, while you gossip about others and spit lies.
And when you're feeling down, I'll wipe the tears away from your eyes.
I'll be your boat, when the waves are are wild and the oceans are stormy.
I'll finish the chapter, when you're too weak to continue the story.
I'll be the one to safely carry you back to the ocean shore.
Even when you've sunk all the way down to the ocean floor.
I'll be sturdy when you need a strong boulder,
I have only my heart so I bear you my lonely shoulder.
