The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk

Talk when you need to listen

They know your darkness

Let you know theirs

Without judgement and expectation

You can talk to them about how you see things

They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree

Trust you enough to say what they really think

Read tweets and novels

Never make you beg or grovel

Won't allow it

Remind you that you're better than that

Lay some of their burden on you

Let you behind their wall

You feel each other with heart and mind

Even if you don't explain yourself

You get them

These are the ones that make life worth living

Make you love to be alive

Reflect you to you

Teach and learn

Some days the lead singer

Some days the band

These are the ones

You can count on one hand
