She thinks that nobody can see her hurting
She thinks that she can hide the hurt behind her chocolate eyes
I can
I can see how much she is hurting
When I see her hurting
I start to hurt
I feel the want to heal her open sounds
But I all I can do is cradle her fragile body
I want to heal her
I just don't know how
But I know I need to soon
She is calling apart
Like an ancient building
Being beaten by the elements around her
Some seen
Some unseen
More and more by the minute
When I look into her eyes
I see something broken
Broken beyond repair
However
I still want to fix her
I want to fix her brokenness
I want to make her feel like she is brand new
And that nothing compares to her beauty
Even if I get cut along the way
She is worth it
Every drop of blood
I would bleed out for her
She is my friend
And I want all of my friends to be happy
Because they desrve it
She deserves the world even though hers is falling apart

When I look at her
I see the hurt
I see the tears
I see the hopelessness that she has
For herself
But I don't care
Because I see past that
I see that everything
Little by little will be better
No matter what she says

If she reads this then I want her to know
I want her to know
That I mean every letter of this
I want her to know
That even if it's not okay right now
It will be
It always will be okay in the end
And that everything happens for a reason
All she has to do
Is draw her world the way She wants it
I want her to know That we love her
I love her
Because she is my friend
And this is not a commitment
But a choice that I have made
Not for her
But for me
