I don't always have it together.

I am discouraged.

I feel so lonely.

A piece of my heart is gone, and I can't get it back.

Pain. Alone.

I still feel hope, and that's comforting. I do know that things are going to turn out the way they should. And I do know that I'm not ever really alone. But tonight...

I need my best friend, and he's gone.

I want to smile... But more than that, I want to cry. I want to cry the pain away.

I don't have to have it together all the time.

Some of the time would be nice...

I want to guard my heart. And at the same time, I want to let people in.

It's worth it; it's hard.
