Author's Note: To my friend.

I only have one question.
My question is simply "Why?"
Just because you were thrown to the ground
Doesn't mean you'll never fly.

He isn't worth the effort.
He isn't worth a single tear.
He isn't worth you letting go.
And that's why I think you need to hear . . .

So many people love you.
He may be turning around.
But that doesn't mean you'll never move on.
So get up off the ground.

Brush the dirt off your shoulders.
Forget about your fall.
Because it's better to have loved and lost,
Than to have never loved at all.

Forget about the whole affair.
Forget about the times he lied.
Remember the times before she came along;
Forget about how hard you tried.

He isn't worth the time.
He isn't worth stress.
So please, before it's too late,
Forget about this mess.

So many people love you.
He may be turning around.
But that doesn't mean you'll never move on.
So get up off the ground.

Stand up with some dignity.
Forget about your fall.
Because it's better to have loved and lost,
Than to have never loved at all.

I always thought of you as strong.
And I still do.
And that's how I know you'll get along.
I know you'll make it through.

You have so much more to offer
Than just your pretty face.
And this may be a big, scary world,
But I know you'll find your place.
