Relying on others is something we all do.
We talk endlessly about what we went through.
We rely on someone we can trust,
A person, you hope, is better than the rest.

Sometimes, when I need to cry,
I want you to be there to dry my eye.
I watch for you when you're not there.
I wish that we had times we could share.

For, after you left,
I became quite bereft.
