Because believe me, I know that smile. I know what it feels
like to reply, "I'm fine" when someone asks how you are. But
not because you're fine. Just because you're used to saying it,
that you don't even think about it anymore. You don't even
realize the question is being asked. Your response is just so
rehearsed that it just comes out with no effort.Just like that
beautiful smile. It breaks your heart to lie to those you love.
It's so hard to tell them that everything is fine. But it's
even harder to tel them the truth. You don't want to be in such
a vunerable state. You can't handle that kind of pity.
But you have to believe in me when I tell you you're not
alone. I'm here for you. I understand that reflection you see
everynight. The one you don't even recongnize anymore.
That same smile you've been wearing for years to fool everyone
into thinking you're fine, has finally fooled you. Just for
that split second, when you look in the mirror and see that
stranger smiling back at you, you believe it. You actually
think you might be happy, but then your heart starts to hurt,
your body starts to ache, your tears start to flood and all the
memories come back. You're not okay. You're not happy. You're
dying from the inside out, and nobody even bothers to notice.
You feel like you're here alone and everyone has given up on
you. But you have to believe me, You're not alone. I'm here.
I'm right here holding your hand I'm rubbing your back as
you cry on my shoulder. Even if you can't hear me or see me,
I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. Because I know what it's
liketo want to just throw it all away and say "Forget it" I
know what it feels like to think "I'm not worth it. Nobody
cares about me, and everyone leaves. So it's my turn. I'm going
to be the one that leaves this time, and leave them hurting and
alone." But you are so incredibly worth it. Your life matters
to me. Even if we've never talked, or I don't even know your
name. I'm here for you and I care about you. and I care about
you. I don't want you to go anywhere. I know it's tough,
but hang in there. Do it for me. Do it for everyone that's ever
told you they loved you. I'm so sorry you have to wear that
fake smile everyday, but stay strong. Stay Strong and hold on
to the mystery of tomorrow,
beautiful.

I
want to wake up with the sweetest messages. I want to go to
sleep with a goodnight call. I want to be your One and
Only. I want to be the girl you show off to all your friends. I
want you to teach me how to play a football. I want you to
be the one holding me while I fall asleep. I want to watch the
stars with you. I want to watch silly love stories all day with
you. I want to build a fort with you. I want to wake up and the
first thing I see, is your bright eyes staring back at me. I want
you to teach me to play those silly video games. I want to
wear your sweatshirts to bed. I want to go on roadtrips with
you. I want to know what its like to be your
girlfriend. I want to roll down a big hill with you. I
want to go to the movies. I want to be with you. I want
to hug you. I want to kiss you. I want to spend forever with
you, but that'll never happen.
