Saving Grace



The times i needed you,
you were there.
Through the good times and bad times
 you were there.
Sometimes Ifelt like I couldn't move on,
but you were there.

Now that your gone, its hard for me to move on.
I think about the times we shared, and I cry cause you've moved on.
The happy times and sad times that molded me to who i am today.
The love you gave me will never be replaced.
From now until the end of time you are my saving grace.

    A little bit of cliché in these lines. Nothing much but about some who was there to give comfort and love and now that person is not there anymore.
