I may not be able
to drop my world in a moment
to hault the tides from crashing in
I may never have the ability
to make you laugh through the worst of your tears
to fix your heart when it is broken.
I may not have the strength
to hold you up always
to cave to your will.
I may never be smart enough
to challenge you
to keep you interested.
I may never be a lot of things.
but I can love you
so just do me this
let me be
the one who will always come given time.
the one stuck in that lost boat with you.
let me be
the one to cry with you
the one to pick up the pieces
let me be
the one to catch you
the one to stand up to you
let me be
the one to console you
the one to be enthralled at your speech
I may never be a lot of things
but I can love you
if you let me be me.

Author's Note: Hmm yeah this is definately a crummy one but eh it is a quick job when my mind is full, maybe I'll edit it and make it make sense some day..... probably not though so don't hold your breath..... spoke too soon, definately just re-wrote the entire second half of the poem on a whim.
