I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough,
that the ground beneath my feet
started to shake and made me lose my balance.

I'm sorry I still can't stand up straight,
that I'm still a bit broken after the countless falls.
I wish I knew how to get back to where I was.

I'm sorry you had to witness my destruction,
that you had to see me disappear,
to see you hurt is a thing that I can not bear.

I'm thankful that you still stood by my side,
when everything came crashing down.
Without you there I would've drowned.

I think I'm starting to see things clearer now,
my feet are more steady than they were before,
I can feel again, every day a little more.

Thank you for helping me build myself up,
without you I wouldn't have gotten this far,
I love you my friend, just the way you are.

I promise I will try harder to stay alive,
even if feels like I'm falling apart.
But then I will think of you, the one in my heart.
