I still feel the way you breathed
During the night
It was just you and me
We promised forever and ever
So young and naive
But you were the one for me
Held my hand during the night
Made things feel alright
Pinky promises
No telling our deepest secrets
I hope you will see
That this is the way it must be
That I must leave
Learn to believe
There's good indeed
After every ending
You will see

The one that knows
That silence isn't just for show
Picks me up whenever I'm down
Sweet words that hide the dreadful sounds
A little text to cheer me up
A smile, I know she cares
When I felt lost she was prepared
A best friend that was always there
When I thought I lost my mind
She held me tight by her side
Friends forever, the words we share
A loyal friend
No one will compare

I know this is scary
That you're afraid
But you know what
You're gonna be okay
You will live to see
Many lovely days
Black or white
It's up to you  
Stop the worrying
It's all in vain
You're a survivor
Many glorious ways
Laugh a little louder
Smile a little brighter
We're all here for you
When nothing else remains

Sunflower dresses  
That she always sewed  
I danced around
As the wind would blow
I would sing to myself
I was overwhelmed with joy,

She bought little gifts with extra change  
Pink watches, no words could explain
Her expression as it met my wrist
I was so lucky
Memories that will not fade,

When I was sick
There was always a home remedy
Drinking warm tea
Her warm embrace,

As I get older
Time will change
Leaving for school
The stress does age,

So far away
I should have called
You are so special
Forever in my heart,

As times get tougher
I will be present
To be there for you
No need to question,

Life becoming different
The worrying escalates  
But learning to cope
Is becoming a lesson,

Remembering those memories
Such a blessing
Thank you for the beautiful dresses

When we're young we wish to be old
To be independent, no rules, no doing as we're told

We become fixated on what the future holds
We forget how free we feel
Swinging up high as we push our feet through the humid air

Out till dusk, smelling of the sweet summer air
Our hair full of bugs from rolling around on the green, grassy hill

Listening to the calm breeze
Climbing up trees, plucking the leaves
Running around playing hide and seek

Playing barbies with our sisters
Painting each others nails with glitter
Our tummys filled with laughter  

We slowly begin to lose our imagination
No more playing around for hours without technology  
The playground was our mission

The wonderful days spent outside with neighbors
Inventing our childhood games that are no longer present
As we get older our lives become so different

If only we had listened
That being a kid was such a privilege

Keeping this inside
Bottled up
I'm so ashame
A secret to contain
It can only make me feel this way
Becoming weary from my thoughts
Jumping around looking at the clocks
As I watch with tired eyes
Sinking deeper in my thoughts
Here I lay
In such a haze
Letting time pass me by
Until I wake
From this mindless state

We tell ourselves that we are alone
He or she has it better
That these feelings are our own,

Going through the emotions
A person hunched over, a glazed stare
Show we care and ask them to share,

To touch the lives of many people  
Dig deeper and live with compassion
Understand that we are creatures in need of relationships, a self-satisfaction,

To feel we belong and that we are loved
To feel a hand on our back, someone asking if we're okay
To not be afraid,

It's part of our human nature
The part that we must never let go
It's what makes us special in this world,

That we can relate
We can help one another
Forget the jealousy and hate,

Having someone reach out and hear us
Makes us feel that we are a part of something greater
That we are not failures,

We can save lives
Say no to suicide
No more goodbyes
