Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Recently, there was an incident. It turned out to be less than it seemed at that time, but it did leave me very lost and confused then, to the point of being (but actually denying) being scared. I usually act as if and tell myself that I am capable of handling "situations" by myself and, most of the time, I am. But, oh, the relief of having someone to be there for me is always such a welcomed blessing.

Someone showing genuine concern and care for me is never forgotten, especially when he has done so several times before in big and small ways. It seemed most natural to contact him then and I hope that, when my other very dear friends find out about it later, they would not feel slighted for not being contacted first. I know you all love me just the same. My faculties were inhibited by emotions.I merely seeked comfort where I knew it would be from experience.

I think you may be reading this. Yes, you know who you are. The day after the first call, I heard Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and I thought how fitting it was of my impressions of you. If I knew how to dedicate a song for you on your local radio station, that would be the song. But, knowing you, I don't think you listen to the radio... much.

Don't forget me in your trying times. My shoulder may seem small in comparison to yours, but it is strong enough to be leaned on too. You know how to reach me, I'm sure. I'll get the phone cards next time.
