I can wait

If you need to be angry at someone, 

be angry at me. 

And if you're sad today 

or tomorrow 

or in a week from now, 

talk to me about your problems. 

I want to help, 

just show me how.

If you need to tell someone 

about your day, 

tell me. 

I will listen to you grumble 

about how you embarrassed 

yourself in public 

and we'll laugh. 

I'll help you realize 

it doesn't matter 

as much as you thought.

If you need a quiet moment 

while you're sober, 

or non-stop conversation 

while you're drunk,
I'll be there. 

If you need a hand to grip 

when you're in pain, 

or a song in your head 

before you sleep, 

let it be me.

And if in a month you decide 

you've moved on 

and it doesn't hurt to mention 

her name anymore, 

I'll still be here. 

If you need someone to love, 

love me.
