|
| twenty-nine |
|
| I was there for you when you, |
| and you, and you, |
| needed me. |
| when you had no one else that |
| you could |
| lean on. |
| I listened carefully and I shared |
| your pain and |
| helped to |
| make you feel just a little |
| less alone. |
| I was also there |
| when things got stretched |
| too tight |
| and they |
| threatened to break and spill |
| out into |
| the night. |
| I did my best to prop you up and pull |
| you through when |
| they eventually did. |
| All this time you know I've seen |
| a lot and I've |
| learned a lot. |
| But the lessons you know if the truth |
| be told were |
| not the nice kind. |
| And if I let you look into my eyes I |
| think you're gonna find |
| that I'm a long way |
| from twenty-nine. |
