Insightful Friend

You're so paternal

You're the bright eyes I look to while I'm on stage

Whether I'm performing or just talking about life

And you care about me for both

You invited me to lunch

You invited me to sit in on rehearsals

And I hope to coerce you into letting me help

I know I need to crumble in someone's sweet presence

And yours is more trustworthy than that of many

You're more paternal than those who ought to be

And the fact that you support me at this time

In this time of difficulties-

Well, you know...

I need to crumble to someone

And you've seen me cry

You've seen me fragile, and praised me for it

I can't wait for this

I'll confide in you about everything

Since you're the stable shore I've fallen onto often

And your voice in my broken brain was something that drew me back

Now I am home in a place where I belong

And I will tell you everything

Since you are family to me

You are family
