My Friend Needed Me

My friend needed me
the other night,
but I was asleep.

I found out,
the next afternoon,
something that made me cry.

My friend needed me
the other night,
but I was already asleep!

She told me,
the next afternoon,
that she had
attempted suicide.

I feel horrible,
what if she had
gone ahead with her suicide,
I would have failed her as a friend!

My friend needed me,
the other night,
but I was already asleep.

I gave my friend
KUTO's number,
so if there's a next time,
she has someone she can call.

My friend needed me,
in her time of great need,
and I wasn't there for her,
but for now on,
I will be!
