Every now and then,
I think about you and what you're going through.
You're the one that's always there for me,
Someone that understands and has been through a lot,
Quite like myself.
But honestly honey,
Tears stream down my own face when thinking about your problems.
You're such a sweet little girl,
Who has such a big world to take on,
But you're fighting.
Every scar,
Every breakdown,
Each and every hurt,
Those are battle wounds,
And I have faith you'll win the war.
I can't imagine the pain you're feeling,
yet I can from experience,
And that is the reason I feel so much for you.
I know what it's like to be in fear of losing someone close to you,
A parent, a father,
Someone who loves you unconditionally.
To try and savour your memories with him,
To cry yourself to sleep at night knowing he might not make it through the next couple of years.
I know what it's like to pour your happiness into someone,
That might not always be there,
Might not always show they care,
Whether it's a lover, a family member, or friend,
All you want is to feel like you're wanted,
Like you're loved and cared for.
I know what it's like to feel like the world is crashing down on you,
And sometimes it becomes too much.
Sometimes you just want it all to stop,
The stress, anxiety, depression, and life in general,
But again,
I believe in you,
And I believe you'll make it through.
Seeing you this way tears me apart and sends sobs racking through my body,
Because nobody should feel this hurt.
Nobody should be in so much pain,
Nobody should feel this alone.
Baby I need you to know that I'm there for you,
And I may not be much help,
But I have a shoulder you can cry on and the ability to give you a great bear hug.
I understand what you're going through,
As I have gone through (am going through) the same.
Please baby,
Keep your head up and stay strong.
I don't know what I'd do if I lost you.
I'm there; I'm always there.
