i'll be your shoulder to cry on, the one you can come to
i'll be your shield in the wind
i'll be your voice of reason
i'll be your 'keep going, things will get better!'
i'll be the anxious receiver of your phone calls
i'll be there for you when no one else is
i'll be the one who opens the door and carries your bag
i'll be the one you can trust
i'll be the friend you can come to, at any hour, crying when you can't go home
i'll be the one who won't ask you for an explanation
i'll be the one who will let you sleep in my bed
and i'll sleep on the couch
or i'll be the one who sleeps behind you, my body curled around yours, protecting
i'll be the one who does what you want
i'll be the light at the end of the tunnel
i'll be your lover, your friend
i'll be that, for you
