She stood there on the building looking down,
Tears just fall down her face,
Saying "I made a big mistake."
I found the note by her bed,
I raced up the stairs,
To try and reach her before it's too late.
I got there and there she was,
Looking over the edge,
Ready to take a leap to have it all end.
"Wait" was all I could say,
The only word that passed from my lips,
As she turned and looked at me.
"What are you doing here,
Let me go,
Let me be,"
Was all she said to me.
I looked her in the eyes,
Forgetting about the tears,
I said "for all it's worth,
Here I stand not wanting you to go.
I may not be able to help,
But I can be that lending hand,
That will help you through it all,
That life throws your way.
I may not be superman,
Or wonderwoman,
But I am your friend."
She just looked at me,
Like I was a foreign person,
Standing right in front of here.
She walked slowly away from the edge,
Saying "why save me?
I was the one who hurt you,
Why me?"
I looked at her and said,
"Because I am your friend."
I held her in my arms,
Until her crying stopped,
Then I looked her in the eyes,
Saying I got to depart.
She stood there shocked,
"What are you talking about?
You saved me."
I said "what you don't know,
Is what you don't see."
She stood there as I floated away,
Saying "don't worrying I will always be,
By your side,
If you haven't figure it out yet,
I am your guardian angel,
I was sent to save you."
Then there she stood,
Just looking up,
Can not believe her heart was touched,
By a guardian angel.

Wow, I think that was beatifully written. I was curious to see how the title would play into this. There is such a great story behind this. Very, very touching. Sometimes, we all just need a lending hand. For some reason, I greatly enjoy this one. I'm not sure if it's my life experiences that make it so or it could just be the fact that you're a brilliant writer. Either way it goes, wonderful job sweetheart! =]

How sincerely written. You of course as always, have a beautiful way with words.
-
The first line is in past tense, the second is in present. And it should be "I am your guardian angel" Other than those this was good
