Written at a time when I was questioning if I was a good friend.
If you needed someone to talk to would I be there to lend an open ear
Sometimes you need someone to listen and not just offer their advice
Like a friend, who would speak when the Holy Spirit spoke to them
Sometimes when you’re hurting, you just sit there in silence and need space to think
Like a friend who is there for the hard times
Like a friend who is there for the tough circumstances
Like a friend who knows that silence can be golden and healing sometimes
Like a friend who can hold you when you can’t seem to find the strength to stand
I know you are hurting and I want to help, but sometimes I don’t know what to do
I can see you are struggling, but sometimes you just need some space to sort things out
I can see you don’t like where you’re at in life, but I want to listen to your thoughts
I want to be the one who sits there in silence when you don’t have the words to speak
Like a friend who is with you in the hard times
Like a friend who will give you space to think and reflect when you need the time
Like a friend who is holding your hand, but also understands if all you need is space
Like a friend who is with you when the times are easy, who also understands your pain
