friend
i will think of you
when everyone treats me differently
and remember you told me
“Let them!”
friend
i will think of you
when i forget i matter to anyone
and remember you used to hug me
tightest of all
friend
i will think of you
when someone was mean
how you defended me fiercely
you said to just keep being me
friend
i will think of you
when someone looks at me sadly
when they are tired and treated badly
i will love them with openness that you showed
and remind them they are needed as you once did for me
