I watch you, sat next to me smiling, <br />Telling me things, sometimes, just sometimes, <br />I see that smile change, <br />Morph, into a grimace, for a second, pain flickers across your face, <br />And I want to make it go away <br /> <br />Why? Because I know, from all these years <br />You’re the only one who does this for me <br />It’s like you’re my antidote, from the pain of reality <br />I hope I am the same for you <br />You deserve it. <br /> <br />Sometimes I remember back to my first day at school, <br />And I think thank God the teacher picked you to look out for me, <br />I think of the times when you were there for me <br />And I am grateful <br />More grateful than words could ever say <br /> <br />I know things are tough for you right now <br />So I want to pay you back, <br />I want to show you how you’ll always be my friend <br />And how special you truly are. <br />I want to fix it all for you and be here for you <br /> <br />I look back at you and your smile, being jolted around by the bus, <br />I say something stupid so you grin some more and I watch your pain fade slowly away, <br />We’ve had better days you and I, <br />But we’re strong, we’re a team, we’ll pull through <br />Be selfish Rachel, this ones completely for you. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Obviously dedicated to the one and the only best friend and fellow poem hunter Rachel frikin' Anderson!<br /><br />Kat 'Happy Girl' Happy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-for-rachel/
