To My Friend

Have you ever wondered
Why people take the time
To stop and say "How are you?"
When they know you'll say "I'm fine"
Do they really care?
Do they really want to know?
How deeply you are hurting
You just don't let it show
So many people only wish
There was someone they could tell
Because the more they keep it locked inside
The more it hurts like hell
Don't forget you're not alone
Most people that you see
They have story's too you know
Just like you and me
So please hold on
I'll try not to let you fall
And when I ask you how you are
You can tell me all
We'll cry on each others shoulders
Tell secrets til the end
And even though
'We fight sometimes
You'll always be my friend!
