There are nights when sleep knocks my door,
But my eyes do not let it in;
There are nights when I dwell in the loneliness,
Seeking punishment for a never committed sin.

At such times I need you my friend,
To listen to my possibly illogical tale;
At such times I need you my friend
To take a ride with me, into my emotional rail.

I don’t need your words,
I don’t need your shoulder to cry on;
The Only thing I need is you my dear friend,
To remind myself that I’m not all alone.

No I’m not strong to deal with my thoughts all alone everyday,
When I know I have you as my friend;
I’m writing this letter to let you know my dear,
It’s only you, on whom I can count on till the end.

I need to sit with you at the end of everyday,
When I’m done with giving answer to every question that I was asked;
I need to be with you, because it’s only you,
in front of whom I can take off my mask.

So,
Promise me dear friend,
When I’ll need you won’t be missing;
I don’t want you here for something big,
At times, I just want you to listen!
