Dear friend

I miss the way your smile used to come from your heart

I'm standing shivering; terrified, watching you slowly fall apart

Your memories unwinding your pain doesn’t stop

You think I don't hear your lonely tear drops

But there in the shadows I stand and I wait

Praying for you, waiting, contemplating your fate

I love you so much, its torture to see

That you're slowly fading, by living misery

Please hold on, and whatever you do

Never give up; I swear I'm here for you

I wish that I could bear the hurt instead

To silence the thoughts screaming through your head

But all I can do, is hug away the fear

Watching over you, I'll always be near

To console you that you're not alone

Holding your hand, even when everyone's gone

I know it hurts I can see it in your eyes

I can see through the smiles, the laughs, the lies

I know you can't help feeling like this inside

I just hope that it helps that I'm by your side

I'm that shoulder you can cry on

My words will urge you to stay strong

I swear to eternal loving loyalty

A helping hand when you're in need of me

Please don't let the sadness consume your soul

I need you please, the friend I've always asked for…

I love you so much, so very much

I'll always be here, close enough to touch
