do not hurt yourself tonight. do not end your life tonight. do not smoke a joint to ease the pain. do not think of the painful memories going through your head. do not cry yourself to sleep. just take a warm shower and stand under the water for awhile. drink a warm cup of tea you probably haven't had in awhile. the kind with tons of lemons and honey that you like. and then just go to sleep. get a good long sleep and end your night like that. don't hurt tonight. and most importantly just remember how much I love you and need you. and how much I care.
