"If You Care"

 

If you care,

When I'm scared,

You'll be there,

To help me bear.

If you listen,

To my fears,

You will learn,

What's inside of me.

If you want,

You can be,

My new best friend,

Or you can leave.

But if you care,

You will stay,

Helping me through,

Each passing day.

If you're scared,

Of what I'll do,

Take a break,

Or maybe two.

If you care,

You'll tell me now,

That you do,

And you'll always be there.
