• Today I was helping a friend of mine fix his truck.
    The poor thing was broken and didn't want to work at all.
    I didn't do much but hand him his tools to get the things unstuck.
    But he thanked me for helping him and I said " anytime need any help and give me a call."
    He just smiled and said " maybe i will the next time I get in some muck."

    Yesterday an old friend called and said that his relationship was falling apart.
    I had dealt with things like this before and i said understandingly," How can I help you?"
    I heard him cry and say that she didnt seem to have a place for him in her heart.
    He said that it seemed that she hadn't quite been true.
    I only listened to his problem and he said I had listening down to an art.

    A month ago my girlfriend called to let me know that she wanted to go on without me.
    I had cried and missed a few nights sleep.
    I hadnt wanted to ask them for help because i was too afraid to see.
    My friends would have done anything to hold back the weep.
    With a well placed phone call they would have been there when i needed them to be.

    So I got to thinking after I had gotten over the break up.
    How many of my friends are crying tonite and I don't know?
    I wonder if I can help even though they feel they dont need help to hold the cup.
    I wonder if they need help all the time to stop the stress flow.
    Perhaps it's just me that was hurt too much to admit my feelings of being dumped?
