There will come a time

when you find

that you don’t need me

as much as you used to—

when you do not need a pillow

while watching Saturday night’s comedy

on Sunday morning,

or a reminder

to wear your jacket in the cold.

But when you no longer need a French tutor

or onion chopper

or counselor

or chauffeur,

and all you need is a friend…

Just know I can be that too;

I would be anything for you.
