Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step till I reach the door
You’ll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there’re so many things that I want you to know
I won’t give up till it’s over
If it takes you forever I want you to know

When I hear your voice
Its drowning in a whisper
It’s just skin and bones
There’s nothing left to take
And no matter what I do I can’t make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there’re so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it’s over
If it takes you forever I want you to know

That if you fall, stumble down
I’ll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I’ll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won’t give up cause I’ll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I’ll be there for you

Dear You,

When I said to laugh…

I didn’t mean to laugh at me, but to laugh with me. To laugh at the smallest things I find amusing. To join in the laughter even when you don’t understand what is so funny or even when you find yourself that the idea of laughing is stupid.

When I said to smile…

I didn’t mean to fake it. What I meant was to smile with your heart and pride. Smile though every easy and difficult situations from the past, present, and future days. I ask you to smile even if it hurts.

When I said to cry…

I didn’t mean for you to cry whenever I was crying, but to cry when there’s no tears. To cry for me when you are the only who who understands the unexpressed pain and sorrow. To cry along with me to show me that you understand and no words are needed.

All I ask you is to understand when I said, “Laugh, Smile, & Cry for me…”
