Please always be happy


I remember when you told me "please always be happy" and I said " I will be as long as you stay." Look at us now, we walk past each other like we never even met, like how we started out as strangers. It's so hard to act like I'm fine, like nothing ever happened but it's not hard for you and I don't understand why. I was there for you and I helped you & now I'm empty; I have no one. Since I've lost you, I've lost myself. They say it will get better and people say to get over it but you never get over it.. You just get by it.
