A while ago I ran into
an old friend of mine
We spent hours catchin up
it had been such a long time
Two years since I had seen her
how much life had changed
We've both grown so much
not too much remained the same
She told me about her life
about the pain she had been through
All I could do is sit in awe
I didn't know what else to do
Why hadn't I been there
to comfort my best friend?
When she needed me the most
I wasn't there to help her heart mend
She'd been in deep depression
had thoughts of suicide
For years she kept her feelings in
but, one day, no longer they could hide
All of this sadness
just lead to more pain
She lost the boy she loved
by making one huge mistake
She knew that drugs were wrong
that they didn't really take your pain away
"It was my last resort," she confessed
"I couldn't take it for one more day"
"My boyfriend got mad
he said it was like I was cheating on him
He told me I wasn't the girl he loved
and ended up leaving me in the end"
By now she was in tears
thinking about old memories
I hugged and comforted her
Let her cry; let her need me
By the end of our conversation
everything was like old times
Laughing about silly stuff
laughing so hard we'd cry
I knew my friend would be okay
she said now she'd make it without her guy
At first she didn't think she could
but she's realized as time goes by...
That all things happen for a reason
and that you won't be given too much pain
That what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
that you need to make these mistakes
You'll love more than once
of course, you're first love will be the best
But just because one has ended
doesn't mean you should give up on the rest
It's almost like she needed
these two years of hell
To help her realize all she's learned
and to get to know herself
I love this girl so much
never again will I let her be
And, oh, I forgot to mention
this girl...this girl is me
