Now that he's gone, <br />You're going to need me more, <br />He was the one to put a smile on your face, <br />Yet his not being here has pricked a tear. <br /> <br />It hurts to see you cry, <br />So let me be the one to replace the smile, <br />I will never replace him, nor will anyone, <br />He was who you looked up to, <br />But you can look to me for a shoulder, <br />That's what I'm here for. <br /> <br />As you told me, <br />He's not gone, he's still here, <br />Not in human form, <br />But his spirit will watchin' over you, <br />As I'm not with you in person. <br /> <br />I wish I could be, <br />But you know I'm only a phone call away, <br />Soon we shall meet again, <br />Don't know where, Don't know when, <br />Until then stay strong, for him and for me<br /><br />Lisa Harvey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-friend-in-need-hurts-to-see-you-cry/
