There You Were

Just when I thought I was alone

Just when the world was about to collapse

Just when I had no where to run

Just when I thought no one cared

There you were just when I needed you most.

Through many sad nights

Through hardships and trials

Through tests of time and life

Through all the pressures

There you remained, strong and supportive.

Different from all the people I knew

Different from all the others who hurt me

Different in a way I never knew possible

Different in the way you love me

There I see a heart that is loving and true

On the exterior the world may seem alone

But on the interior I see you, and I know

I am not alone.

There you were just when I needed you most.

There you remained strong an supportive

There I see a heart that is loving and true.
