veni

My external persona is wise, strong and reliable,

even if my inside is tender, naive and wavering.

Do not think to ever hide from me your pain,

as for a friend I never hide and thus never quell.

My love hurts, when broken it is,

but a friendship strong it's always within.

If I asked you for help to heal my insides,

don't worry my friend, that's me on your side.

I'll try to be objective and wise just for you,

no matter our past, no matter who you choose.

My love is consuming, and can be a source of pain,

but always a friend I will be, I will be until the end.

So even if lovers' love doesn't run in our veins,

and even if never a couple we'll be,

relax your senses and rest your head here,

my shoulder to cry, your head lay on me.

I'll hold you and provide you with emotional support,

so the best choice you can make, without fear, without doubt.

I know that trivial this path doesn't look,

but trust all your past, and the friends who are with you.
