My dear, please don't force a smile
When you don't want me to see
The pain I could see from a mile
It hurts that you're hiding from me

Your broken voice tells me the story
Your silence shouts what you've withheld
My dear, I cannot help but worry
You pushed the ladder as you fell

Your fake smile is stabbing me
It's breaking my heart as we speak
Let your tears fall, they're already seen
Just as your mind, it's all but weak

I will not judge, I've been there, too
It's not something you need to hide
My dear, it's hard, but you'll get through
Not yet, but soon, your face will dry

Even if it takes a while
I will always be here for you
With me, you don't have to smile
No matter what you're going through

Don't be afraid to ask for help
You never have to go alone
For, my dear, peace can be felt
When no end is clearly shown

Peace that's stronger than a river
Peace that's softer than the shore
Peace that stops relentless quivers
Peace than calms our hearts from war

So, my dear, I am here for you
I'm here to help you dry your tears
No matter what, I'll love you, too
You will never be alone here
