When youre ready, Ill be here for you

*** Not really so much of a poem, but since i cant show the person its to, I thought id put it here...***

You know
i really just don't understand.
what is it that you're so afraid of?

you say you need a real friend
someone to listen
someone who wont judge
someone who is there for you
who will love you for who you are

well here I am
I extend my hand to you
and time and time again
each time you open up
you reach me
your hand just barely in mine
you pull away

and yet.
tis me who ends up hurt
alone
though I know you too are alone
and you know I really would do anything to change that.

you've told me your fears
I really do understand
but you know I'm not going anywhere
I know you may think
that something bad will happen
but if we stick together
nothing can beat us
were an unstoppable pair
maybe thats what scares you so?

you tell me all the time
you're no good for me
you cant change
I know this all
I know the things you do
I know who you really are
but you don't seem to understand
I don't love you despite who you are
I love you because of who you are

I know all of your darkest secrets
and in return, you too know mine
I cant tell you that with one magical kiss and a swipe of my hand that I can make it all better
but I do know this
If you would only give me a chance,
I CAN help you
and you can help me.
I WANT to help you.
and I guess that I can only hope that one day you will see.
and that one day
you will LET me help you.

I really don't understand what you're so afraid of... maybe you've been without love so long that it scares you to think of feeling so strong

I know you aren't used to these feelings
and I know you're scared.
But, I want you to know
that whenever you are ready.
Ill be here for you
