Will you?

You see the pain in her look

How all of her strength

Goes into that smile.

It's hollow though.

You see the darkness beneath.

You could be her candle.

You see the fear in his stance

How he shies away

From all connections.

He's terrified now.

You see his feet on the edge.

You could be his wings.

All she needs is a friend

Is an ear

Is a smile.

All he needs is love

Is laughter

Is time.

Will you be the one?

The one to banish darkness

To make her smile bright.

The one who lights the way?

The one to raise him up

To cast away his fear.

The one who lifts him from the brink?

YOU could be that friend

That ear
