Not Just a Teacher, but a Friend
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
