I had nowhere to turn, had nowhere to go.
This is just something I think you need to know.
I don't know what made me trust you.
I still remember the day when I told you what I've been through.
I thought I should run away, go hide in a hole,
but then you really brought out my true soul.

As each day grew longer,
our trust became stronger.
Each time I wanted to cry,
you stayed there right by my side.

Then I moved to the next grade.
Boy, was I afraid
that our trust would slowly fade,
but I was wrong;
we are still strong.

Even though sometimes you don't have time,
you at least ask me if I am fine.
Even though sometimes I am not,
I feel like I have just been shot,
I smile and say yes I'm alright.
Then I walk away and you're out of sight.
I'll just have to wait.
I still have my fate.

I am so glad
that you were there when I was sad
and this is what makes you
not just my 7th grade teacher but also my friend.

I have had nowhere to turn
I had a lot to learn
not just about math science and English
about life

But you listen and never told
I have never known what that felt like before
I remember when I would sit and sob on the floor
Then you came and guided me

Too bad this is my last year at this school
Seems just like yesterday I walked into your 7th grade class
Boy that was a blast
Too bad walking down the hall will be my last

But now I'm going to 9th grade
going to a whole new school
But I will always keep that simple rule
live your life

but when I walk into that brand new place
I always remember your sweet smiling face
the face that gave me strength and courage
to keep going keep moving don't let anything stop me

I hope this doesn't mean that we can never talk
I hope we keep in touch
so I won't end up alone
sitting on the floor again
and all I could do was moan

So thank you for being my friend
I am so sad that our trust may have to end
