Can We Be Friends?

Why don't we become Friends?

We can carry one another through storms,

and catch each other when we fall,

The only thing is:

I'm weak

and no matter how much I want to lift you up

I don't think I can

Nevermind that 

We still can be friends

We can shine lights when the clouds hide the sun

and show each other the shadows aren't all that scary after all 

But the thing is:

I'm scared of your shadows too

and I don't know how to light up the darkness

Maybe we can't be friends 

Because what's the point of doing something

if it's not going to be good

But She, with brown hair,

twinked her bright eyes.  

I don't remember what she said

as gently took my hand,

all I know is that she smiled 

like we would never die

So maybe I can't carry you across the raging ocean 

or make the blackness white

you'll need someone else for that

I'm no doctor 

and I don't know how to make your wounds hurt less 

But I will be here

with open ears and arms

because I don't know how to make it better

but I have a shoulder on which you can cry

and a heart that yearns to laugh

So can we be friends?

I don't have much to offer

and will probably mess up a billion times 

but I really want to stand here

My hands holding on to yours 

and yours resting in mine
