- as long as you’re next to me

There are times
I need you
To have a chat with me.

There are times
I need you
To hug me.

There are times
I need you
Just to listen to me.

But there are times
I need you
To sit next to me
And keep silent.

For when
You’re next to me
I know
I’m safe.

So it’s okay
When we’re silent
As long as you’re
Next to me.
