Kindness can drive out evil
Love can overcome hate
Sympathy can cure heartache
And a friend can alleviate pain...
I was that friend
At least I tried to be
Putting myself last
With all my efforts of generosity
I'd listen to them
While being drenched in bittersweet tears
Offering my condolences
And telling them not to fear
"There is always tomorrow
So please don't live your life in sorrow
Keep your head up despite the weight
Because nothing good can come of your current state"
The problem is when the pain goes away
They often forget what you've done
Or refuse to appreciate
Not to say what I've done didn't come from my heart
Or how I was looking for something in return from the start
There was only one thing I wanted you to see
Unrestricted love wrapped in generosity
