"Why is it....."
  by BSavvy


Why is it
That every time I need you
You’re just never there

I miss the days
When
I felt I could depend on you
Your shoulders was the one I could lean on
Your presence made me feel
Everything would be okay

I never asked for much
Never expected you to be my crutch
Never came to you with my financial woes
Never needed you to make it alright
Just needed you to be a friend and just be there

To just listen as I vent
To just offer your shoulder
And
Use you’re hands to wipe away my tears

Through the good times
Through the bad times
To just be there

So many days I’m fine
But
You know me now to know
When it’s all a façade
And
When you get the distress call
Just show up

I don’t turn to people
I don’t look for outstretched hands
Don’t need pity
Don’t trust every one
But you
We’re one of the few
I let into my world
So I need you to not let me down

Don’t want anything from you
I just need you to offer your support
Same way I offer mine
And I guess
If you don’t
Then that is fine
I will still shine
&
I will still rise
Bc one thing about me
No matter what I encounter
I always bounce right back

Just sometimes
It’s nice to know
There are actually people you could depend on
There are those that truly just care
&
knows
That friendship means loving unconditional
And
Just being there
Come hell
Or high water
Through the good and the bad

I still have love for you
Just wish you picked up on my distress calls
Same way you use to
Same way I do for you

It’s not about money
Just caring enough
To think about someone other then you
And actually making time
To just make sure I’m alright

But

Either way
I still love you
