Guidance

I just wrote it down as it came.

I have to admit,
from the first time I saw you,
I've been looking after you
and everything you do.

When you got your heart broken
I made that guy pay.
And he still hasn't bothered you,
up until today.

He traipses over,
a drink in his hand,
the smell of alcohol on his breath
is one that you can't stand.

You try to back away,
but he won't let you.
I know I've been looking after you,
but my time is through.

I know you can fend for yourself,
because I'm sure you've heard,
I'll always be right beside you,
you have my word.
