the beauty I saw
in the blood that fell
from my arm to your eye
didn't you feel it?
friend,
I have loved and accepted you with all of your faults
and all of your beauty
and all of your hang-ups
and the way you never ever feel like you're in the right place
I love that in you
doesn't that mean anything?
haven't you ever noticed that?
why is acceptance a new feeling for you
when you've had me for so long?
maybe it didn't mean anything
the words we exchanged
I've known your casual glance
it's fallen on every single piece of emotion I've presented to you
friend,
you've always been my friend
that means I accept you
I've seen the dark parts of you
I've seen you crawl and weep
and I've loved you still
the only thing in you I've never overcome is your blindness
because you just can't see
what a friend you are
what a friend I am
you just don't see,
friend
