A Poem

I remember


The reaching out
with words and arms
Smiles and tears

Backed me up
As the people around became closer
I felt the change

Inside
And
Far far away
I didn't want you to see me
the real me
Afraid of being loved
or loving

I tried to hide
behind my quite
and unspoken thoughts

You wouldn't leave me alone
and you didn't

I'm happy we're friends
