I'll be Around

When you avoid my hi’s in the halls,
When I’m just another cheerleader in your racing calls,
When you’re better without me and have it all,
I’ll be around…

When you ignore my presence during class,
When my heart breaks like shattered glass,
When I’m just another girl in the hallway you pass,
I’ll be around…

When you pretend I’m not there and I don’t know why,
When I see you dressed up in a tie,
When all I wanted was for you to try,
I’ll be around…

I’m not waiting around for you my dear,
I’m not dwelling on you,
But if you need someone to talk to, I’m right here,
I’ll be around…


The author's comments:
My piece discusses the promise and willingness to be there for somebody even though that concern might not always be returned. It's not about being weak and "damsel-like" "waiting around for somebody;" rather, it's about simply promising to be there for that person no matter what.
