You Were Always There

by Zac

Whenever I needed someone to talk to
You were always there.
My eyes filled with tears, my heart filled with pain, and
You were always there.
There was no time when I had doubt
to come to you because
You were always there.
I could see in your eyes you wanted to help, and that you really cared.

Whenever I was down and blue
You were always there.
No matter my problems, are what was wrong
You were always there.
Whenever I felt like nothing matters
You were always there.

Now your gone, and I don't know what to do
I close my eyes and think of you, and how
You were always there.
It's hard to look at the pictures, and get memories of you
Can you hear me now
At night I pray, and I speak to you
I guess you were right when you told me no matter how far you were
You would always be there.
I know one day I'll see you again, but till then I have to say goodbye

Even though it hurts to hear your name, and speak of you
One thing I will always say is
You were always there.

I voted for this poem because recently I had to move to North Carolina and leave my best friend Amber behind. I'm always thinking of her and telling her how much I'm thinkful for having her as a friend and no matter what I'll still be here for her. I always thank her for always being there for me. One time she helped me stop cutting and doing bad things to myself. So when I read this poem it touched my heart and made me relize how special she was to me.

Hi Zac, Your poem hit home for me ~ my 26 yr old son passed away in Dec. 2005 after a long debiliating illness and it is still difficult to think of him not being here. Thank you for your words. Mona

WOW! this poem is truly written from the heart. My female friend, Darcy, is moving to Houston and it's affected my life in ways that I don't even think about, it's kind of a emotional domino effect. I thought I was the only person who would really know what goes on when you lose a friend, whether loss of life or simply moving. Thank you.
