I'm standing in front of you today to let you know you are worth it.

And you have saved my life before, so why should I not save yours?

From the moment we became best friends I could tell you were different.

You were like my superman, but you were also my kryptonite.

I could tell you would be the best friend that would let me cry on your shoulder.

But now I'm standing here today wondering if YOU will be okay.

I'm here today to tell you that ending it is not worth it.

Think about all the things you'll miss cutting your life off short.

What about having a family? A daughter you will learn to love.

What about seeing your brother graduate from high school, as you cheer for him in the crowd?

What about how your mom would feel? It's supposed to be the other way around.

We are supposed to grieve our parents; our parents are not prepared to see us leave.

I could name a million different reasons why you should stay here with me.

How about you stay with me because there's endless shows on Netflix to watch.

How about you stay with me because you haven't listened to every song there is in the world.

How about you stay with me because you haven't received all your sacraments yet.

How about you stay with me because Apple is still making new iPhones.

Stay with me to see all the cheesy horror movies that come out every October.

Stay with me to earn all the different snapchat trophies.

Stay with me until your Instagram account is verified.

Stay with me because I love you. You are priceless. Don't let this overcome you.

I know deep down in your heart, you're scared of letting go.

So, come into my arms and we can just lay low.

I promise you there's more to this life, even if it seems undoable.

I promise you things will get better if you just hang on for a little longer.

This is just a bad time, not a bad eternity.

Don't do something permanent when this will all be over soon.

You are the future, there is no future without you.
