You da playa, 'Rick. The hot stuff, the Teflon to which nothing can stick. You don't fool me, man.

You can kick me to the curb, ditch me in the dirt, forget to call when you say you will. I'm still here and I will not walk away. Won't turn my back on you, Rick. Whatever fades around you Rick, I won't. I'll help you find the peace you're looking for. It's fragile, I know It runs through your fingers like sand, it escapes you in the middle of the night, leaves you clawing for hope in the worst of places.

I'm right here, Rick. You don't even need to reach out. Don't need to show how fragile you really are. Because I know. I'm the one you need to bet on in the most fragile of times. I'm the peace you've been looking for.

And I'm right here.
