a letter to a "friend"

Dear Mr.Constructor,

I do not know whether you remember me,
It was a long time ago.
I was that little girl you helped cross that road.

Dear Mr.Constructor,you told me we were friends;
I do not know whether you remember me,
It was a long time ago.
You were that little boy who helped me cross that road.

Mr.Constructor, kind sir
I do not mean to take up your time,
But I need a favor to ask of you;
A small favor in fact!

You were my friend
When I was a little girl.
You were my friend
You were my world.

But now you are gone....
well long gone in fact!
For I am no longer that little girl
Who needed to cross that road.

Now, for that favor I need to ask of you:

Kind sir, When I was little..
left lonely and afraid,
You helped me stay grounded..
You helped me not to go astray.
And for that , Mr.Constructor
I thank you with all my heart!

You brought me out
Of my little world,
Where my life was just a dream.

But, Mr.Constructor, kind sir
I think I was much happier that way!

You helped me take down
Those walls I held up so long.
But my friend Mr.Constructor
You taught me how
to build walls stronger than my own.

These walls kind sir,
Should not have been built!

I made a friend one day...
someone who was passing by.
I wanted to get out,
But you weren't there.
I wanted to get out,
But you didn't stay.

My friend passing by..
heard me cry.
Mr.Constructor kind sir,
He spoke to me
And told me not to be afraid.
That little boy is no longer little..
That little boy,
is the only one that stayed.

Mr.Constructor, dear sir,
That boy sits on the
other side of that wall,
That you built so strong!

He's waited and waited..
But I am so afraid...
He would only wait
so long.

So Mr.constructor, dear sir,
The favor I ask of you is this:
Please show me your secret
weapon,
That you used to take
down those walls.
For I would like them brought down
Right down to the ground.
For my friend will help me be strong.....
without your stupid wall.

"when we're hungry we've been taught to say i want more food'...or when we're sleepy say...' i want more sleep'..but when we feel like we need compassion or something why is it so weird to say 'hey i need more love!'..."

quoted by you from "one night at the call center".. pray this might help "the little girl who needed help to cross the road"
