You tell me that I could tell you anything.
You tell me that you'd always be there.
But whenever I try to,
You won't let me try to find the words,
You won't let me try to figure out how to explain.
You're pretty much never there when I need you,
Too busy or just not answering your phone.
Telling you my troubles doesn't seem to change a thing,
Since your too busy "living in the past."
Too busy holding me to a standard
That I never meant to set.
You forget the most important thing,
That I need my friend, the one I love.
That I need a hug, a shoulder to cry on.
And you forget that I can be quite fragile.
When I start to cry,
When you see me troubled and stressed,
All it takes is a friendly word really,
A reminder that you care.
All it takes is a hug,
Although holding me would be better.
All I really want is comfort,
I don't need too many words.
Just to be reassured that you love me,
To be reassured that I'm not alone.
Just show me that you haven't abandoned me
And show me that you still care.
Comfort makes the pain go away,
Comfort makes me feel protected,
It lets me gather all my worries
And place them in a box.
It lets me have a moment of peace,
Enough to cool the meltdown
That threatens to overwhelm.
It gives me a moment to relax
And enjoy the company that I'm in.
It gives me the time to observe
How time slowly passes by.
I try to stay rational,
I try to not bother you,
I don't want to be a pain,
And I certainly don't want to intrude.
But sometimes too much is really too much
And I can't help but break down.
I try my hardest to do what's right,
To stay focused on the task at hand.
I'm usually quite successful
But at the cost of dealing with everything later.
It just so happens that you're the one I go to.
It just so happens that you're the one I trust most.
I'm sorry that you always seem to catch me
In a moment where I'm most vulnerable.
A moment where my focus shatters
And I'm forced to deal with my problems.
However, I would like to thank you.
You've always managed to come around,
At least sooner or later.
You've always managed to bring a smile to my face.
Truthfully, not many could.
Thank you so much for putting up with me,
I know that I'm a big hassle.
But with your patience and understanding
I'm able to face another day.
Thank you for your help,
You're the best that's all I can say,
And I'm very lucky to have you by my side.
