The Morning


by Vanessa Yesland (16)

Goodnight...
I'll be looking for you in the morning
please say you will be there,
don't do anything stupid
like thinking that nobody cares,
because I would like to see you in the morning.

Sometimes you may think you are all alone
like the whole world is out to get you,
but if you would only open your eyes
you would see how much you are loved,
and maybe then you would stay until the morning.

Goodnight...
I'll be looking for you in the morning
please say you will be there,
don't do anything stupid
like thinking that nobody cares,
because I would like to see you in the morning.

Everybody has their hard times
but everybody has their good times, too,
so if the demons haunt you
just remember back to when the sun was shining,
and maybe this will give you hope to stay until the morning.

Goodnight...
I'll be looking for you in the morning
please say you will be there,
don't do anything stupid
like thinking that nobody cares,
because I would like to see you in the morning.

It's okay to cry
don't think of it as a weakness,
but instead view it as a strength
that you have the courage not to hide your feelings
like so many people do behind artifical masks,
and maybe with this realization you can stay until the morning.

Goodnight...
I'll be looking for you in the morning
please say you will be there,
don't do anything stupid
like thinking that nobody cares,
because I would like to see you in the morning.

If anyhting ever happened to you
I don't know what I would do,
I love you,
and so maybe you should stay until the morning.

Goodnight... goodnight...
