I wish I had been there

I wish I had been there
When you needed me the most
I wish I had been brave enough
To hold you when you needed me

I wish I hadn't been so afarid
To get close to you
During your time of pain
I wish I could change it

I wish I had been there
When your father
And best friend passed away
I wish I had helped you as best I could

I am truly sorry
I wasn't there when you needed me
I wish I had held you
And told you it would be ok

But I was to afraid
I am sorry I wasn't there
And I am sorry it can't be changed

sarah, you were there for him. i don't know of any way that you could have been there for him any more than you already were. you were a great and loyal friend to him, especially in his time of need. i know that that was also the time when it started to go down hill, but for the time that you were together- you were much better than he deserved.

Yes, I agree with Marie as well, regretting is all we have, and I have many regrets as well! Just go over it, and you you feel fine, you just need to support them now, and there will be nothing to regret again!

[KAREN]

Yeah, regrets are hard, but you can be there now! Great job on expressing your feelings!!
