For a Dear Friend

It pains me when I see you weep.
Why? Because I see so much of myself in you. I see you... and I remember.
I remember how I used to cry like there was no tomorrow. I remember how I felt so broken those days, how there was so much hurt inside of me. I remember asking Daddy to shield you and her from the same pain, if ever the time would come.

Eventually, it did.. but Daddy did not shield you. I guess Daddy wanted us to learn.
But one thing I am grateful for, is how the both of you learned from my experience to help yourselves in the future. Because it turned out, that your experiences were much more simple than mine.
Sometimes I wish I had what you two had. I wish I had enough courage as she did, when she went out of her way to reach out to a friend she really cared about (and how obvious is it that, that same friend cares so much about her as well?)
I wish I had the same convictions as you had, and how it was you who gathered enough guts to put an end to things when you knew things weren't right. And then, hours after you did end it all, how you casually talked to each other (despite the tension..) proving you were more like.. and better at being friends.

I remember how I eventually got past that stage and got back up on my feet.

My dear sweet friend, things are going to be alright. I just know it. Always know that I am here for you. I know what your going through and if it means anything to you, let me cry with you.
Also, know that Daddy is with you. He hates to see you cry, and im sure He doesnt mean to hurt you.. but Daddy has to. Daddy knows that breaking your heart is the only way for you to understand what breaks His.
Run back into His arms my dear friend, and find comfort in Him when no one with skin on could comfort you. May our Lover be with you during your tearful nights and depressing days, just as how He's been there for me. Take joy in knowing the fact that He, Himself will wipe away every single tear from your eyes. (Rev. 21:4)

On your feet beautiful stranger, do not stay down. Get up and continue moving forward. There is much in store for you.

May you find the peace and joy only Sweetie could provide. When you receive it, you'll realize that with what you did, though painful... puts a smile on His face.
(although im pretty sure you already know that..)


I love you.ü
