I Cry
For: Jennifer, my best friend forever. I miss you and I love you!
I don't cry for my foolish wants,
I cry because I can't give all the people I love what they want.
You may believe that I cry for myself,
But really I'm crying out to you.
I want to let it out,
I want to quit hiding beneath this smile,
But when I do,
You assume what's wrong,
Not knowing or asking the truth,
Only because you're afraid.
You're afraid that you've done wrong,
And that you've brought me tears.
But at the same time,
You're lifting me back up,
Making me realize that you're crying too.
You need my support,
Yet- I need your,
So what are we to do?
We say we don't want to talk,
Only because were afraid we won't be heard.
I want to give you my ears to listen and my shoulder to cry on,
Yet will you let me? Will they let me?
I cry because I can't help you when I'm like this,
I cry because you can't help me when you're like that.
I cry for everything you have to go through.
