• A girl lives by a few simple rules:
    To love like she’s loved back.
    To dream like it’s always possible.
    To laugh like she’s never been hurt.

    She’ll always be the one
    who catches the fall,
    who softens the blow,
    who helps heal the wound.

    The shoulder to lean on
    when you're feeling weak.
    The pillow you cry in
    when it's just a bad day.

    But, sometimes
    she doesn’t have that person
    To catch her when she’s falling.
    To soften the blow when it hits her too hard.
    To heal the wound until it’s only a scar.

    And in the end,
    Despite the hands she’s held,
    And the tears she’s dried,
    And the people she’s loved and supported,

    Sometimes, she’s still alone.

    But life keeps going.
    The world won't stop for her.
    She laughs and fakes a smile
    Because she knows she shouldn't complain.

    No matter how many times
    People have broken her heart
    She fights the urge to stop and cry
    And no matter how she suffers inside
    She won't tell you.

    Because she knows
    In her heart of hearts
    You won't be there to listen.

    You'll tell her to stop it
    You'll tell her it's not worth it
    Even if she already knows.

    But, deep down inside
    She holds onto the hope
    That maybe, just maybe
    One day she'll find her everything.
