Just Know That

I don’t think you have a clear image as to what I am

In regards to who you are.

I am your friend.

Not an adoring fan.

Not a crazed ex-lover.

Not a worshipper to fall down at your feet.

I love you.

But unconditionally.

You need not show off.

Need not puff up.

Just be you.

The shy boy I sat with and laughed.

Not some diva rockastar.

I get it if you can’t quite truste me.

I’ve had my share of wounds

But don’t act like pouty you

Is a you that I don’t know.

We faced hell together.

You were there when I was flat on my back

Up against a wall

And up a creek.

So I don’t hold you as a golden image before me.

I don’t worship and adore you.

You are just a friend.

And I was taught you are there for friends

No matter what.

So regardless of super stardom fame

Or deep wallow gutter life

I will still be here.

Just know that.
