Good morning;
I hope your day goes well.
Walk out that door and be your best self.
There are those out there
who may bring you down,
but focus on those who lift you up.
Every day there will be other obstacles,
and I know you try your best to save yourself,
and that's the kind of thing you need to do.
You know I only want the best for you.

How was your day at school today?
Better yet... how's life really been?
You may end up lying to me
and say, "I'm fine,"
because the truth is too much to bear.
You put a fake smile on your face everyday,
and you end up crying on the floor.
You don't think I hear you screaming for help
and a sign of hope that it gets better.
Trust in my words when I say
it's okay to not be okay,
but everything will be eventually.

It's Friday night and I'm the only friend
on the phone as we're both on the verge of sleep.
I start talking about the craziest things
that you probably don't care about,
but you still listen
and add things to the conversation,
making us both laugh
as we reminisce everything we've put up through.

The moonlight will shine through your window.
You'll swear that you'll be okay,
and I believe you.

It is half past midnight.
I think we both need to get some rest.
Both of our days have been rough,
and I hope you always remember
I'm here for you
as you're here for me,
and I'm glad that you're in my life-
too grateful to express in words.

Goodnight, my friend.
Every day is brand new.
Tonight you can sleep your pain away.
I hope you visit the best dreams like I do.

Time to turn the lights out.
Get cozied up in your bed.
Breathe in, breathe out-
tomorrow's a new day.
Forget how rough today was.

Close your eyes.
Always remember
that I love you...
goodnight.
