I'll be there

She held us all together, The only reason we pretended to understand each other, She started to get sick, None of us could handle it. It continued to progress, Then I bought a black dress, To wear on the day, That lung cancer stole her away. It's no secret, we all cried, The moment we heard she had died, It was pain that none of us could bare, It was pain all of us could share. I wish she could see me, I still cling to the note she left me "Trust me, I'll be there when you need me."
