Stand By Me
Reader 1
Life has been rough for me.
I have gone through a lot of pain.
Even though it hurt.
It has made me stronger.
But most of all...
I'm not afraid anymore.
Because I now know that...
You will always stand by me.

We walk two different paths.
Yet, our paths often intercede.
And when they do,
Some of the happiest moments of my life occur.
When I'm with you,
I know my heart is safe.
And I am never afraid when I am with you.
Because I know that you will never hurt me.

Two different worlds separate us.
Yet, we always find a way back to one another.
No matter how much they try to prevent us.
No matter how many odds stand against us.
They can never break us apart.
No matter the distance.
I have only just realized this.
I have realized this because of what you have shown me.

I have been told that people come into our lives for a reason.
To teach us something we must learn.
We are led to those who help us grow if we allow them.
And we aid them in return.
I'm not absolutely sure
If I believe that's true.
But I'm who I am today.
Because I know you.

I don't know what to do to help you.
I don't know what to make your pain ache less.
I loathe seeing you like this.
So broken and hurt so badly inside.
When it seems that you were okay on the outside.
When you have been so kept together.
I thought all this time that you didn't need me.
I have been so blind and so wrong.

Something has changed inside me.
My heart is starting to not be so afraid.
And it's all because of you.
Everytime I am with you
The grayness of my world,
Turns into a multi-colored paradise.
You paint my world with your friendship.

You are constantly on my mind.
I understand what you are going through.
For I, too, have suffered from the same thing.
And I am still suffering from it.
I understand the pain your heart is in.
I will be there when you need a shoulder to cry on.
I will be there when you need a hand to hold.
I will be there to catch you when you fall.

You will be with me always.
Like a handprint on my heart.
I'll always have you
You're the tattoo that lies on my soul.
You can do all the things I will never be able to do.
And no matter which way our stories go.
I know you have rewritten mine.
By being my my friend.

Nothing could end the friendship we have.
Not even death.
Our friendship is everlasting.
Both
We were bound to find each other.
One way or another.
We are like two intersecting paths.
We are distance from one another at times.
But we always find back to each other.
We meet in the center.
And when we part…
We are sad but we now know
That no matter the distance.
We will always stand by one another
