I longed for a friend

when darkness covered my world

when unspoken stories couldn’t be kept to oneself anymore.

Oh, hear me, dear friend

Oh, cry these tears with me

for I need a shoulder

Somebody to lean on

I happened to be dying

as I keep all these to myself

for I have no ears to listen

for I have no friends to get support from

nothing at all

Oh, how hard it becomes for me alone

how hard it became when all I ever needed to hear was it would be okay. I longed for a friend

a friend to tell all my deepest buried secrets.

when each day got harder and more complex, I longed

will I ever find you

friend, I need you

how I long to have you

how I wake up each day hoping to talk, to get love, support and happiness

I longed for a friend
