THE OTHER SIDE OF ME

The other side of me. The side that no one ever sees but me.

This is the side that feels the pain, the heartaches and the sadness.

I am the weaker one. The one that breaks down at the sound of your

goodbye. When there is no one else around I sometimes break down

and cry.

The other side of me sees and hears me and begs me not to

cry.  He tells me to be strong.  Except the pain.  Absorb the heartaches

and forget about the sadness.  The other side of me says to stand up

and be strong.  Your fears will all come to pass before to long.

The other side of me is always telling me not to look at it as

goodbye.  Think of it as hello. Never think of it as a lie.  The other

side of me knows me inside and out.  And I know the  other side of

me just as well.  The two of us will remain together until the day that

we die.
