Not What's Important

I was the person
Who always had a shoulder to cry a river of tears upon

I was the person
Who people came to for answers

I was the person
Who seemed like an open book
Not to have any thoughts about

I was the person
Who would give and give
Until I had nothing left

But that is not what's important
Because...

I was not the person
Who could cry on your shoulder

I was not the person
Who you'd turn to
To ask the right questions

I was not the person
Who had enough chapters in my book
For you to have thoughts about

And I was not the person
Who you'd give your heart to
After I'd poured mine out
To you
