“I met her, At a very strange time, Of my life, And hers. Both of us, Lost in the dark. Different reasons, Same pain, All the same. One day, Desperate to make her smile, I went and got some lovely music. She thanked me politely, Of course, But I could still see, The sadness behind the smile. Giggling, I left once more, Returned this time, Empty handed, For I had nothing else. Looking at me, As she sat there, In the dark, I could tell, She now expected me to leave, Never come back. She did not see herself, As I did, Nor did she understand, Some of us, Will do anything, To make our friends smile, Or just feel, Like they are never alone. So I, Lit a small candle, So I could see her better, Wipe away her tears, And than, I sat down beside her, Because I, Was not about, To leave her in the dark alone.”
