Stronger Now

Smile for them
Frown for you
Around you i was safe
Let emotions come through

Listened to my problems
Blotted my tears
Took away my pain
Let me face my fears

Helped out each other
In so many ways
Our lives were happier
In all those days

Made a pact
Strived to keep it true
Quit smoking for me
Quit cutting for you

So far it's been kept
(Though a few flubs on mine)
But i'm better now
Helped me to be fine

I tried to guide you
Thought it best to do
As i am in fact
Older than you

But it didnt end up
That way at all
Age was forgotten
Maybe cause you're so tall :)

Even though
We have to say goodbye
There is no reason
For us to cry

I was sad
When you walked out my door
But we're stronger now
Than ever before
