I Hope

I hope I'm going to laugh through the pain and smile through the tears, act like it is not killing me.

Wow, when I look back on this year I see how much I loved you, I see how much you cared. I won't lie, it hurts to no end but I am happy for you. You helped me so much, you put the life back in my eyes. I know you're 17 and I am only 14 but we both know what love is... For me every time I looked at you my eyes lit up, when you smiled I would melt. The first and only time we kissed I was head over heals for you. We sit out late and talk about our day... I replay our conversations in my head, I remember everything you said. You say you did like me and I am smart, pretty, funny and just your type then you crushed me with the age thing. You said sorry for leading me on, but you do not know how much you really hurt me. I won't tell you because I do not want to lose you any more than I already have. So, this is my way of saying...

I HOPE you're happy and she treats you right,
I HOPE she kisses you and tells you good night...
I HOPE she is there for you and does not make you cry..
I HOPE she does not lie.
I HOPE she's everything I am and more
I HOPE she does not turn out to be a whore...
You have lost something amazing and I HOPE you realize
I will be here waiting, waiting for when she breaks your heart...
I will be here when it all comes to an end
when you need a shoulder to cry on
you can borrow mine,
not only because I love you,
but because that is what friends do...
THEY DO NOT TEAR YOU APART..
They come from the heart, and
they always finish what they start.
