I wanted to be there

by MeltingShadow

okay so this was a lil' bit depressing but a good way to vent any sadness that i have; though very little. Enjoy i guess?

"I wanted to be there"

by: Dorian Smith

I wanted to be there, when I saw her tear-reddened face;

I wanted to be there, when she rushed past and muttered not a word;

Gone without a trace,

I wanted to be there.

I saw her walking, I saw her cry.

I asked myself, why couldn't I be the one to stop and ask "why?"

Is it because i subconsciously believed, that I would make it worse?

Why did I not try...?

I wanted to be there for her, to tell her that all was well;

That she needn't worry, that she could get over her emotional swell,

I wanted to be there, to hold her in my arms and never let her go.

I wanted to be there.

In the end, I have yet to muster the courage to ask her:

"What has you upset? What is wrong?" yet,
She is distant, miles away yet I still see her face

And I ask myself, still to this very day, "O' why were you not there for her?"

I want to be there...
