"Tell me what company thou keepst, and I'll tell thee what thou art."
I walked along the ocean,
my head bowed low in sorrow,
I hardly handled today,
how do I cope with tomorrow?
The day was like every other;
the pain, the grief inside.
My strength was running out,
I could no longer hide.
The pain was immense that day,
It had never been that bad!
But all of a sudden, out of the blue,
I didn't feel so sad.
Something happened that day,
The weight became like a feather,
It'll never be entirely gone though,
The memories are there forever.
Although I still look back and cry,
I had a friend to confide,
One who means the whole world to me,
One who helped me reach the stronger side.
