Don't Be Afraid

Now that you’re gone
It’s hard to sleep at night
Your face invades my dreams
And your voice fills my ears
But my heart continues to break
Because you’re not around anymore

Sometimes I wondered
What was going through your head at times?
I wish you could have told me how you were feeling
I wish I could have been the one you turned to
But you always kept everything to yourself

You know how to make people laugh
You put smiles on everyone’s faces
But I feel like your hiding
Not wanting to let people in
Only wanting to show one side
And drown the other in colorful personalities

But when it’s just me and you
The other side shyly starts to show
And so I start to notice something different about you
Something that keeps me wanting more
But quickly changes
When thoughts of what other people might think
Start to fill your head

You shouldn’t care what people think about you
You shouldn’t be afraid
To show your true self
I want you to trust me with your feelings
I want you to have courage to not be afraid

But that doesn’t change that you’re still gone
And so your face still invades my dreams
And your voice still fills my ears
My heart, continues to break over you
