Heart-Shaped Reflection

Written March 13, 2007

I want you to know that I’m here for you.
Even if it’s out of your comfort zone,
I’ve got two ears, and despite my years
I can understand what you’re going through.

Remember that I am unlike anyone else.
I admit that I am a flawed adolescent,
but look at my heart, and recall it’s only part
of my entire being. I am much like yourself.

Somehow I want to show you this.
You have been my source of solace.
Even if you don’t realize what’s under my guise,
you have been far from remiss.
