Watching her fall apart,
Made me crumble too.
I didn't know how to help,
Or what I should do...

I knew that I could hold her,
And tell her it will be okay.
But then I began to wonder,
What else is there to say...

I can't promise her tomorrow,
Because I'm still not sure about today.
The only solution I could find,
Was to bow our heads and pray.

This quote is one I made up.....<br /> &quot;You can&#039;t climb a mountian without a harness.&quot; It means that you can&#039;t go where you want to get in life without the help of your friends or family.

The truth is that at some point, everyone&#039;s going to hurt you. You just have to decide who&#039;s worth the pain.<br /> <br /> Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.

Fantastic.

So raw and simple but heartwarming and touching all the same.
