Just Listen

I’m saying this to you
Not to hear your advice
I’m trying to express
What I can’t hide

Be patient when I ask questions
That you obviously wanted to answer
Please choose to care
When I cry on the same thing

Let the tears flow
Just don’t wipe it yet
Teach me how to pull my own tissue
And wipe it myself

I’m not asking you to be my superhero
I just want someone
Who’s willing to stay
When I want to let go
