Two friends sit in a field side by side,
One has cuts and scars on her arms.
They both stare up at the beautiful night sky.
The girl with cuts wants to leave this earth,
and be up with the stars.
The girl with cuts asks,
“Why won't you let me leave?”
Her friend replies,
“Because I'll miss you too much.”
So the girl with cuts says,
“But I don't want to be here anymore.”
Her friend looks into her eyes and says,
“Wrap that piece of grass around your finger.”
The girl does as she's told.
“Now you have something keeping you to this earth.
Please don't go.”
The girl with cuts holds the grass around her finger as if it means her life.
The girl takes two pieces of grass and ties one around her finger and then ties the other one around her friend's finger.
“I'll stay, as long as you stay with me.”
