Blue Butterfly

                        I Would


I came to know... 
What it was like - to struggle.
And...
What it was like - to go without.

I came to know...
What it was like - to be disappointed.
And...
What it was like - to live with heartache and pain.

Many times the tears... would come to my eyes
And many times - I would hang my head and cry.

Throughout it all...
You were there - while I worked it through.
You came to know me and I you.

To this day...
I can still remember when you had asked me...
Would you like to meet someone - that would...
: speak heart to heart with you.
: love and cherish you forever.
: be willing to work at becoming your best friend.
: be there for you through the bad times as well
  as the good times.

And I had replied... I would.
