Sometimes

Sometimes exactly what you need is to cry.

You need to cry for the opportunities you missed. You need to cry for the people you love. Cry for the people you once loved. Cry for the things about your life that you can't change. Cry because you've been in pain. Cry because you feel alone. Cry because you've lost someone who didn't die. Cry because you have all of these happy memories that you don't know where to store in your heart. Cry because sometimes when you don't expect it a friend can touch you in the most unexpected way. Cry because sometimes somebody really needed you and you weren't there. Cry because you really needed someone and they weren't there. Cry because you have all of these love letters in a box under your bed and you spend your life pretending they're not there. Cry because somebody loved you even though they didn't have to. Cry because you loved someone and they lied to you. Cry because you realized you had the opportunity to be a good friend and you failed. Cry because you can't blame yourself for what someone did to you. Cry because you know you did what you knew in your heart to be right, and you still feel as if you failed. Cry because you don't know where you're going. Cry because you've spent so many nights driving to nowhere and wishing you knew why. Cry because you've kept quiet so many times when you were afraid of losing people that you love. Cry because despite the fact that you're happier than you used to be, you still feel broken.

Cry because no matter how broken everything is, you will wake up tomorrow and still feel hopeful.
