How to heal

I wish I never knew
What hurt could do

To ravage your brain
And create such inner pain

When it tears and breaks your heart
Where do the repairs start

How do you forget someone's death
How do you justify their last breath

How do you end the day
That shattered life in every way

How do you fix someone that died
From an act of suicide

You do not forget or repair
You do not mend every step and stair

You move on
And be strong

Strong enough to happily live
Strong enough to lovingly give

Do not bury the hurt inside
Use something to confide

I Hope Our Friendship is Here to Stay

As the years pass on by
And time begins to fly

I hope our friendship will remain
Through every ache and pain

I hope you will still be by my side
Through every high and low tide

Our summer nights
And pillow fights

You will always be in my heart
Even if we split apart

I hope our love never ends
I hope we will always be friends

I will always be here for you
To see you through

I hope our closeness will never waver
Memories of you I will always savor

I hope we will always be as close as we are today
I hope that our friendship is here to stay
