For Rachael

Do you still cry at night

While you still try to fight

Against the pressures of life

I know they are sharp as a knife

She trys to gain some control

Doesn't know where to go

When the people she loves

Can't be there to help



I still sleep with the bear

That you gave to me

It is a comforting thought

Of how it used to be

When you look back to when

We were "in love"

Was it really that bad?

Were you sent from above?



Keep to your life

The best that you can

Don't depend on him

Nor any other man

This friendship will last

Until the end

I guess I want another chance

To be more than a friend



Take a step back

Look at your life

You knew it wouldn't be easy

But just try your best

The way I know you can

And you always will

If you need someone to fall back on

Know I am standing here still
