"Somewhere out there"

~ STILL HERE~

I watched you as you sat alone last night,

I whispered to you, everything is going to be alright.

As I saw you weeping, I could not understand,

As I reached for you........ you did not take my hand.

I could see the heart break on your face,

The pain you showed, made my own heart race.

I sat and watched you for what seems like hours,

Wishing I could help you, if I just had the power.

Why would you not let me touch you, hold you a while?

Why did you not hear me, not give me your smile?

I could hear you moan OH GOD how can this be?

How could this dear one be taken from me?

Then suddenly I remembered, what had brought you such fear,

I want to tell you, that I left my body...... but I am still here.
