PLEASE DON'T SAY THERE WAS A REASON WHY. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM FEELING OR HOW MUCH I HURT. THE WET SPOTS ARE FROM TEARS ON THE COLLAR OF THIS SHIRT. YOU THINK I SHOULD GO ON WITH MY LIFE, FORGET IT, AND BE STRONG. BUT DEEP DOWN I AM SAID AND I DON'T WANT TO GO ALONG. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHY FOR SOME APPARENT REASON I BREAK DOWN AND CRY. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED FOREVER, YOU SEE. AND THAT IS WHY I'M NOT ACTING LIKE THE SAME OLD ME. SO PLEASE DON'T ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE IT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN, NOT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW, BUT NEVER. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR ME IS JUST BE THERE JUST LIKE ALWAYS MY FRIEND.
