I don't think I ask for much

What I would change about me?
It’s funny that you ask,
Because if there’s anything I’d change,
It would be just one thing,
I’d ask for a friend
One who completely understood me,
Who wouldn’t hate me,
Even after seeing all that I am
Who, when I screwed up,
Would be there to screw up with me
Who, when I need someone to hold,
Would hold me
Who, when I want desperately someone to spend time with,
Would not abandon me,
Or ignore me, like all the rest,
who would love me.

I wonder if many people might ask for this,
I’d like to think I’m not alone in this,
I think many people want that type of friend
To change their lives, give them happiness,
And a little sweetness to look forward to,
Others might call me weak, or selfish, horrible,
Stupid, mean, etc…
But I don’t think I ask for much…do I,
Just a friend.
