If I cannot love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend.
If I cannot hold you, I will keep you safe until the end.
For I cannot simply let love die. It takes so much more for me to push love aside.
Love is not easily found, nor easily kept.
So when I stumble upon it or rather it stumbles upon me,
I hold on tight.
And it holds on tight to me.
If I cannot lift you up, I will help you.
If I cannot help you, I will try.
For I cannot simply let friendship go, love follows friendship everywhere it goes.
True friendship is not easily found, nor easily kept.
So when I stumble upon it or rather it stumbles upon me,
I hold on tight.
And it holds on tight to me.
If I cannot stand up for you, I will be your shoulder.
If I cannot fight for, I will do what is right,
For my heart is always loyal, and loyalty follows friendship everywhere it goes.
So when I stumble upon it or rather it stumbles upon me.
I hold on tight. I hold on tightly, passionately, and with all my might.

If I cannot give you peace, I will leave you be.
If I cannot make you happy, I will set you free.
For it will take all of my heart to walk away because of how tightly I hold, but if there is hurt, I simply cannot stay.
Just know that no matter where I go:
I will love you as a friend.
I will keep you safe until the end.
I will be your shoulder.
I will do what is right.
And I will help you.
I will try
I will try.
I will try.
