Breaking Away From the Shadows

You see me and I see you
Our friendship is one that's very true
We met a time ago 
Back when life was very slow
When I left I saw you cry
Bloodstained tears I wanted to die
All summer I thought of you
I lived in my shadows cold and blue
I wanted to give up then you appeared in my mind
“Wait a few days life’s always timed”
I went to school and waited by the door
You walked out and I withered no more
I wanted to smile
But it took me a while
As you helped me I tried to help you
Trouble came fast and true
You left from red to blue
Back to my shadows all so cold
Tired of crying I broke the mold
I wrote to you and one came to me
I’ll be waiting for you just wait and see
