I am not your friend
if I tell you
that you look good
in the moonlight
I am not your friend
if I take your hand
and tell you
that you can make it
I am not your friend
if I stay with you
through the long nights
as you cry
I am not your friend
if I wipe your tears
with dry cloth
to ease your burden
I am not your friend
if I don't tell you
about the harsh truths
that life has for us
I am not your friend
if I take your hand
and lead you to
only the good places
I am not your friend
if I stay with you
just because I know
you need me
I am not your friend
if I wipe your tears
without ever telling you
that it's okay to cry
I am not your friend
Indeed, I am not
if I don't tell you
I loved you before
you loved yourself
I am not your friend
until you tell me
I am your friend, too
