Turn To Me

I do not want you to thank me,
I am just doing what is right.
Helping the ones I love
And cares about is something I like to do.
Whether you want to be or not
You are someone I care a LOT about.
I do not care if you are younger then me
Or that you hundreds and hundreds of miles away
All I care about it you,
The real you,
What is inside your heart.
I do not care that I am hurting.
If you have not noticed
I do not give a damn about myself.
My friends are more important to me
Then anything in the world.
Whether you know it or not
I really love you.
You are so special
And I wish I could make you see that.

This does not make much sense I am sure,
But I am trying.
Trying to be your friend,
Trying to show you that I care,
And that I even love you.
Trying to help you see just how much you mean to me.
Trying to let you know I will be here for you,
Whether you want me to be or not.

I know that you are hurting I can see it.
I can see a lot of things that I do not let on.
I know you want to help me
And I want to help you just as much.
You say you are scared
And I understand,
But please, just reach out
And take my hand
I won't let you down.
I care to much about you
To let you fall.
So if you feel like giving in
Or giving up
Or feel like you can't do it alone
Then turn around
And there I will be
Now and FOREVER!

I am hurting,
But so are you
And you are more important.
If you are hurting come to me
And I will help.
Do not think that you are burden
Because you not.
I want you to come to
And trust me.
My hand is outstreched to you
And if you turn around there I will be also.

Let me wipe the tears away
And make it better.
As for the scars on your heart
I cannot fix or change
All I can do is love you
As much as you will let me.
Please, do not be ashamed
Or scared to come to me.
I am not the enemy
I am your friend
Now and FOREVER.

So the next time you think you are going to fall
Do not bother looking behind you,
Because I assure you I will be there.
Just reach out and take my hand
For I will always be here.
