If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't risk telling you
the things you needed to hear...
even though I knew it meant
risking our friendship
that at times...
was solid as steel
other times fragile as butterfly wings.
If I didn't love you...
it wouldn't hurt to see you
falling into such an abyss...
knowing that you are near
the point of self destruction...
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't care the outcome..
I'd walk away and not bother
to try and break your fall...
I would shrug my shoulders
and walk away...
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't leave the door
wide open for you after you fall..
but slam it shut hard
with no openings at all.
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't be writing this
with tears in my eyes
at each word...
For the love of my friend
that I care for so deeply...
But I do love you...
will always love you...
and will hope and ask
all the angels I know...
to bring you safely back
to yourself....
