*Here I Am

Here I am standing right in front of you

Can't you see me holding out my heart?

The world stops spinning when you're gone

And time passes so slow

I'm always here for you if you need me

I've never left your side; not even once

To the ends of the earth I would go

If you told me to

Your smile and kindess light up my days

And your laughter and cheer - my nights

The harsh winter colds seem softer

If you're in the same room

You've known me for years

I've been right here the whole time

Whenever you've needed me

I could be found quickly

So here I stand in front of you

As you're getting ready to say "I do"

To someone who isn't me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

How heartbreaking. At least it's not true, for me.
