Smokey Robinson makes me cry.
I just want to crawl inside you and rest, because I know you understand and I won't have to explain myself. You'll hold me and for a time, it will be OK. I can sob on your breast and you won't think less of me. You won't look at me with pity or call me weak. You won't make me feel cliche and pathetic. Our friendship is like a shield I can carry with me everywhere. Even when we're not close to one another I take solace in you. I imagine having faith and feeling this way about Christ, but I haven't been able to feel that in so long. I just can't believe. There has to be something. But, if there is this God so many have faith in and say protects them, wouldn't that God want us to rely on ourselves and each other? If we are these creatures formed in the image of a greater being, why do we have so little faith in each other and ourselves? I am thankful for you and you and you; I just don't know who to make the thank you note out to.
Tears of a clown.
