I'm Here

You can pretend,
To know how I feel,
But please know that I'm here,
And know that I'm real.

Say what you want,
Or see right through me,
But I hope you know,
And that you see:

That you can reach for my hand,
'Cause it's held out for you,
I'll be there for you,
I'll always help you too.

You never see me,
But there's something true:
That to the end,
You'll always be more than a friend.

Just ignore my efforts,
I'll try to get along,
I just hope that you,
Hear this song...

You always ignore me,
But that is alright,
I'll be with you during joy,
And through sadness and fright.

Because look at my hand,
It's held out for you,
I am always here,
You can lean on me too.

So take my hand or not,
I'll be here till the end,
Though you don't see me...
You'll always be more than a friend.
