Sometimes I Cry

Life is hard and days are long,

And we must pass through it somehow,

Sometimes without a rest,

Other times you think you’ll die,

I just wanted you to know,

Sometimes even I cry.

I laugh it off and cheer all the way,

I keep going and going doing all I can,

Until I can’t do anymore,

And that’s when I cry.

It all just bottles up I guess,

Having nowhere to go.

That’s when I found you,

The friend of all friends,

The one who would always listen,

And always try to understand,

The one who gave my life an outlet,

And would always stand by me.

I’m crying again,

But this time it is different,

Now I cry tears of Joy,

For now I’ve found you.

We’ve grown so close,

We’ll share anything together.

I guess that’s all one really needs is a friend,

It’s all I need,

Because my friend is You.

Without whom I would be very sad indeed. Thanks for being the one I could always count on.
