Dew You Know

I want someone to know me
Someone not afraid to touch me
Someone who is comfortable with me being comfortable with them
I want some one who loves me for my mistakes
As they point them out
I need someone who is not intimidated by my tears
I need that security
Someone to appreciate their confidence
Be it in me or by me
I learned long ago
You can tell your best friends
not by what they give you
or what favors they do
but through the interim
The cracks where they slip in
Then they fill the spaces they don’t have too
When they touch your heart
With out you having to ask
When they hear what you are saying
Without ever saying a word
It’s the time in between happiness and heartache
When they choose to love you
Despite yourself
When they know they need to be there
Even when you refuse to allow them
