Response to 'The Paintbrush'

I will not take your brush;
I am here for you.
I will not laugh
nor speak or do mean things.
You will not lose me,
I am here for you.

I accept you for you
Always as you are
What you share I welcome
But only share when you're ready;
It will come in your own time.

It means so much to see the real you
I accept you now and will as we go
I want to be a true friend
The friend you say you see in me.
I, too, have a paintbrush
I will protect you as I can.
You can keep your paintbrush
If I can keep you near.
