Dear Friend

September 29, 2022

Dear Friend,

I know tonight
you can’t keep it together
I can hear you
reciting reasons to carry on

Your pain
is all you feel right now
The dreams you have
all look shattered to you

Choices you made
are choking you
and you don’t want
to bother those that love you

So you suffer
with a smile on your face
so no one will know
and no one will ask

I wish I could
make it all better
But all I have
are my words

So here they are

I love you
I would miss you
And I truly believe
with all of my heart

That you are beautiful
So please stay

Sincerely,
Everyone who loves you
