Sitting here on a jetty the waves lapping around my ankles 
Smiling, as I think of you.
Remembering the moments that we shared 
and how you saved me 
when I was having dark and scary thoughts.

You showed me a softer side of yourself
a part you keep hidden
whilst you held me tightly in your arms
whispering kind and caring words, making me feel safe.

Now you face your own demons 
and I want to be there,
to talk, listen or just hold you close. 
but at least for now your out of reach.
so you stay in my thoughts and prayers.

As you struggle to win the fight 
I need and want you to know
that you will never be alone.
As I am there in your heart
because I love you, my friend.
