Strong Enough
From Jan. 30, 2008:
I felt something catch in my throat –
A sudden surge of sadness that caught me unaware.
It almost managed to take my breath away;
I guess I should’ve seen it coming.
Just when I thought I was alright,
Just when I was getting back to normal.
I see your face in a picture, hear your voice in a dream;
It stops me cold, makes me break into a cold sweat.
Why do I still think about you?
Why does it matter anymore?
You didn’t stay long enough to make me care,
At least that’s what I thought.
I feel like nobody’s ever held me down and forced me to cry, or made me hug them, or got to the inside of me. It’s like I say “I’m fine, it’s nothing,” and nobody stops me, nobody looks me in the eyes and says “no, you’re not.” Does anybody know me that well? Is there somebody out there that strong? I sure as hell hope there is.
