When the fiercely cruel girls tried to make me crumble
I plastered a smile to my face and pretended not to care.
When they tore everything away from me to make me humble
I stood up tall and was proud that I smiled through my tears.

I wanted to run- I wanted to fall-
because of you I still stood tall
I wanted them to leave me alone- for the pain to end
but I couldn't say let go because I needed to be your friend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were a continent a way until I finally came home
Eight months of  memories later - good bye meant being alone

If I had truly had to watch you walk away from me ,never coming back
Then I would have been broken, falling and unable to stand
If there was no way you could have let me in again, too hurt and too sad
There would be no reason to be proud- not what I'd planned

Actually able to do my homework, not distracted because you wouldn't call
Going to sleep at a normal time because we wouldn't talk for hours
Wouldn't get my phone confiscated not wanting to hang up- trying to stall
My favorite shows would be painful to watch because no longer ours

Heart bleeding crystal tears that would freeze and never shatter
A silent pain that only you would understand but I wouldn't be talking to you anymore
noticing the things you notice would be way too painful to even matter
You're a part of who I am and I'm afraid it will kill me inside if I have to shut that door

You once told me that if I pushed you in a pool you had to pull me in too
because we belonged together and thats how we always would be
Best friends forever because I'm someone I don't know or like without you
Saying goodbye for good would mean the person I am is no longer me

I almost had to say goodbye- it almost wasn't enough-us holding on together
You asked me to stop fighting for you so you could actually think
I gave of my last weeks with you knowing I might end up losing you forever
Today - good bye to us  would take the ground from beneath my feet
