Louis Janmot (1814–1892) was a French painter and poet

There are moments of suffering or grief or days like daggers to the heart.
When you have these moments, try knocking on the door of my heart.
My life and my heart are always open to you.
These ears can listen to everything at any time.
These eyes have gathered so many tears to cry with you.

If you are happy that you don't have to speak, I understand that you can see your face.
But if you have sadness, loneliness, or a desire to feel away, talk to me about all of these things.
I put half of misery on my shoulders.
Let's go ahead together.

This is our way to continue as our friendship.
