you were there for me

Words escape me at this moment
that seems like the end yet this is only the beginning.
When friendships are close and dreams are far,
you were there for me.
Tears fill me with memories of both good and bad,
some almost forgotten yet all dear to the heart,
you were there for me.
In times of trouble and in times of gladness
you stood by my side and held me up.
Through your ever-patient ears to your comforting hugs,
you were there for me.
From that first day when I saw you
and knew that you would love me for who i am,
you were there for me.
And until the day when we are old and gray
I will always know that,
you were there for me.
