Close your eyes
Breathe in that deep air
Let it take your breath away
And let yourself go

Don't worry about anything
Nothing at all
Clear your mind
And let your worries disappear

Sink into a dream
Let reality vanish
Remember that I am here by your side
To hold your hand and get you through this

Just let it all go
Release your fears
And forget empty promises
Everything will return to normal

But promise me one thing
Thats all I ask
One little favor... promise me
You'll stop hurting

The author's comments:
One of my friends best friends had been having a rough time with his past girlfriend. She had been just giving him the worst a girl could ever do to a guy. I never realized a guy could get this hurt. Even though I had only seen him a couple of times and I didn't know much about him, I felt for him. I just want people to realize boys can get just as hurt as girls.
