*I Do Understand

I know what you mean.
I get it --entirely.

It may seem.. This may seem out of line --well, way out of line.
But I'm here.
And I'll guide you the best way I know how.
I will always be here.
We'll keep things in place.

Now, reality check.
Ugh, I hate doing this, but it's kind of necessary.
But this is what we'll do..

We'll keep up with reality,
with it's painful, restricting and oftentimes,
downright depressing implications.

We will go through this.
With this connection,
this understanding.

I will hang around for you, okay?

I don't walk out of people's lives, Buddy.
That's just not my thing.
