Discouraged,
Not wanting to face another
Day;
So she stopped by just
To talk.
I listened.
I tried to encourage her,
But in the process,
I succumbed to
Tears too.
We cried together.
And then we began to
Work our way back up,
Out of the gloom to
Hope.
Finally, we laughed,
Hard.
We had lifted each other
Up,
And as I walked her to the
Door,
I realized again,
That's what friends are
For.
