you were there

You were there
you were there for me
when I needed a friend
you were there
when I couldn't sleep

you were there for me
when I needed to feel loved
you were there
when I shed tears

you were there for me
when no one else was
you were there
when I had to choose

you were there for me
in hard times
you were there
when I needed a laugh

you were there for me
at all times
you were there
when I needed you the most

now I say you were there
you were there
instead of you are here
because you are gone


no longer there for me
when I need your love.
