An Angel

I hear the phone ring
And I pray to God it's you
Though I know it'll never be you
So why do I even bother wishing anymore?

You never heard what I had to say
How could you when all you ever worried about was yourself?
I'm not saying I hate you
But maybe you should have considered that I actually have feelings too

I told you to stop whining about all your problems
To get off your ass and go change the world with your own hands
I told you to stop letting life pass you by
To live life to the fullest for you'll never live again

Don't hide behind the lies anymore
Face the truth head on
Never hold back; give everything your all
And I promise you'll never regret it

I remember telling you that...
Now I wonder if you do regret it doing what I told you to...
If you would've been better off if I had just said nothing..
I think you changed for the better...
That you learned some life changes lessons
...what do you think?

When I first met you, you were...
Whiny
Selfish
Cold
Cruel
Hateful
But more than anything...
You were lost
I looked past everything
Saw you for the lost, scared little boy you were
That's why I reached out and offered my hand

I saw hope in you
I knew someday you would be a beautiful person
All I had to do was be patient and kind
Now everyone can see how much you truly shine

I know I can walk away with a smile on my face now
Because I know I did what needed to be done
I saved a lost little boy by giving him love
And that little boy was you

Don't worry though...
If you ever need me I'm just a few steps behind
Just a call away
For now though I will leave you to living your life
And I'll find someone else who may just need an angel
