Just for awhile

...."Just for a while, let me know that if it is deep into the night and I feel the tears welling in my eyes, you will always pick up the phone.

Just for a while, if I feel like giving up, whisper that you believe in me.

Just for a while, when I fear that I might die old and lonely, tell me that you will always be here for me.

Just for a while, when the fear in me becomes so real that it threatens to shatter all I am, hold me, and tell me things will be ok.

Just for a while, guide me through the darkness and show me all the colours that I’ve been unable to see.

Just for a while, can you just walk me out of this haze? Maybe after we escape it, I will be able to walk on, on my own, but for now, for a couple of days, or weeks, will you let me feel that I am loved?...."
