To my dear friend [you know who you are],
I only wish I could make you happy, my dear friend. To be able to see you smile and to feel good that you do. But I know I cannot, I cannot grant you what you truly want. I can only be here by your side and coax you through the waves, show you the faint beam of light emitting from the lighthouse in the distance. I cannot throw you a lifebuoy, but I can swim with you and try to keep afloat together.
Do not think that I do not know what it feels like to be trapped in the storms - to be sucked with the currents and claw desperately at the waves wanting to be washed up on the safe shore. It's not an easy path there and sometimes you will feel as though you would rather let go and let the swirling waves carry you to the ocean's depths.
But if you would only try to fight! If you would only try to fight and live for the next day, no matter how bleak it will be, in time the storm will clear. The storm will always clear. It cannot always be cloudy, it cannot always rain. The door will open, and there will be light to bask in. Warmth to calm your trouble soul and make you feel there's something in this world that's worth living for.
I cannot force you to believe in my God, but I truly believe that through him I can be a source of strength to you, to be able to comfort you and perhaps show you the way out of the storm. It's not going to be an easy path, we know that. But if you will not shut up your heart in walls of lead, you will be able to find happiness. "Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making."
Hugs, Razaera
