"Scars"

You have a hard time trusting,
moments when you look like you're going to cry,
and days when nothing seems to go your way;
you're either high or low,
down deep in the dark valleys,
or high up in the clouds.
And I try to understand,
for I've been down before,
but I will never understand emotionally
what you went through with your friend.
Her death has shattered you,
and I can see the scars on your young heart.
No matter how far you run,
or how many times you try to hide,
those scars will only heal with time.
And no boy or moment is going to heal them,
they may help,
but you have to heal them yourself.
You have to breathe and realize that life is okay,
that not everyone is going to hurt you,
like she did when she left.
I can see your scars with my bare eyes,
and as a friend, I know you'll be okay,
I know you'll survive,
but you have to know that no earthly thing is going to heal you.
You have to heal yourself and let time do therest,
and eventually those scars will heal,
but do not be afraid to open up your heart again,
for it you keep it closed,
blocked off from the world,
from all those that care,
you will never be happy,
and she of all people,
would always want you to be happy and content in your life,
that still has so much in store for you.

Hey Casey,
I do not know if your talking to me or not. But, if you are, thank you. What you said has come across my mind so often in my life. Now being mostly on my own. I wish she was there beside me!!! Even now years after this devasting event, I can't really say I'm over it. I'm still so careful when I'm around girls, I don't want to become attached to someone like that again, just to have her be ripped from my arms.Even as I write to you, I feel her guiding my hands on what to say to you. Thank you again, for just listening and being there!!!
