My Dear Friend

My Dear Friend, If, even just for one day I could take all your pain and worry away I would. So I could see you relaxed and happy once more. If I could change the past events, make them better, I would. If I could go back in time to when we were small, sitting on the floor playing with our Bratz dolls, I would. If I could help you, instead of making it worse…I would. If I could change everything, make everything right; would you want me to? If everything you know was back to the way it should be would you want to do it? If it was just for a day would you still take that one day, knowing that the next day you’d wake from the dream of perfection to the harsh cruelty of reality? If I could do this for you, If I could make it all better, If there was something I could do… If all was possible, would you want it? If I could change the pain to happiness would you want me to? If I could find a way to help, I would. I miss those times we used to spend together, playing with the hermit crabs and telling stupid jokes. If I could go back to then, I would. If I could go back to when we’d run out to the ocean and jump into the waves, pretend the seaweed was evil and was going to kill us, I would. If I could comfort you If I could be there for you If I could have stopped this from happening If I could do more If I could, I would do it all… And I would freeze time so you could be happy forever. *Dedicated to Laura Breidenthal*
