I Have

by **Just Her**   Jul 19, 2005


I have been there for you
Every step of the way
I've picked you up on rocky paths
And have supported you each and every day

I have listened for hours on end
When you were crying on the other line
I've dropped everything I was doing
Just to be by your side

I have stood up for you, no matter what people said
And been there for you
When things weren't going right
And you didn't know what else to do

I have put all my energy into helping you
Because that is the kind of friend I want to be
But can you say the same
Have you always been there for me?

I have had days, when I just needed someone
And yet you found just one more excuse
So I tore myself apart and wondered why I was alone
While you used me for your use

I spend my life trying to be a real friend
Because friends mean the most to me
And yet it always comes out the same
Your never who you want to be

I have never succeeded in you being there for me
And in that sense I always seem to fail
So I walk this path we used to walk together
But I find that it is only me, on this lonely trail

*Just venting*

    Wow, perfect timing. I feel exactly like this right now about my "best friend". This really hit home. This is what I've been trying to tell my "best friend". This was just wonderful. May I ask, may I use your poem, like read it to my friend? I promise not to plagarize it. Trust me, I hate plagarizers. I don't plagarize, I just catch them. E-mail me. Once again, very emotional poem for me. Great job. Definitely worth a 5.
