I'll always be there

I try hard not to break down and cry
As you hold hands with my friend
I know I should be happy
But my feelings have no end

Your voice floats over to me
And I hear what you have to say
You talk with her about everything
And how she brightens up your day

I choke from the emotion building inside
And a tear slips down my face
But I try to be strong for both you and me
So I wipe my eyes with haste

Now your girlfriend turns to go
And you finally notice me
A look of concern crosses your face
But I ask you to let me be

It's my turn to leave you now
But its really not the same
True, you can visibly break my heart
But why be filled with shame?

I'm just one other girl
But I really am your friend
So will you catch my tears that fall
Until the very end?

You're still standing there
Wondering what went wrong
When all of a sudden it hits you
I've been here for you all along
