A poem about losing a very close friend to another.
I was there.
I was there, when you found your first love.
I was there, when you fell your first time.
I was there, when you needed a shoulder to cry.
I was there, when you thought your heart would make you die.
I was there, when nobody else knew where to find you.
I was there, helping you back up.
I was there, letting you lean on me.
I was there, when you learned to walk again.
I was there, as you fell once more.
I was there, when nobody else was.
I was there, as you became happy finally.
I was there, when you were finally done.

You were there, when I needed you.
You were there, when I needed support.
You were there, when I was hurt.
You were there, when nobody else even knew where I was.
You were there, when the world fell apart.
You were there, when I needed to talk.
You were there, when I didn't know what to do.
You were there, helping me as I'd helped you.
You were there, when I learned my role.
You were there, me to console.
You were there, when I was alone.

Now you're gone.
Now nobody's here, when I need you.
Now the world is gone, and I don't know what to do.
Now you're happy, and I'm all alone.
Now I'm here, and now you're gone.
