Will you be there?
When the days are dark , darker than dark ,
When am all grey and wrinkled up,
When the sun hides under the cloud , and the storm seems to be unending,
When I forget the man I am , or who I can be ,
When happiness eludes and melancholy develops roots ,
When It's all out of control and the campus always points south,
When my frailties are at their peak , and my flaws take the lead ,
When I become weak , unbearable like Monday is in a week ,
When am too much to handle, and too hard to let go ,
Will you be there?
Will you remind me that it takes time , that it's darkest before dawn.
Will you be there?
At the height of the turbulence, in the harshest of times ,
I hope you will remember,
To reassure me ,
To care for me ,
To hold my hand , and heart ,
I hope when I lose it all,
I hope you will stand by me , and be there , with me ,
Come what may, I hope you will be there.
