Today, my ears to you I lend,
Not as a lover but as a friend.
I know you don't tell me how you feel,
I know certain pasts are impossible to reveal.
I can't hold you in my embrace,
But I hate to see those tears on your face.
You don't have to lie, don't have to feign,
You just need to know that you'll live through your pain.
And soon these crystal tears that you shed,
And the weaknesses that you dread,
Will become your strength instead.
