you can try
to leave this earth.
but we hope you never do.

you can try
to run away.
but it won't help you.

you're falling,
falling,
with nothing to hold on to.

but when I reach
to help you,
you have to hold on.

you're tumbling,
through blackness and sorrow.
falling,
through sadness and pain.

you think that if you just let go,
you'll be okay again.
but let me tell you,
that even when there's nothing to hold on to,
you have to keep trying,
and never let go.

because one day,
someone will say,
'I miss you'
and when they do,
you have to hold on.

you have to know,
it's not good to go,
we'll miss you so,
you have to hold on.

don't cry,
don't hurt,
don't fall,
don't go,
hold on.
