Here I stand,
eyes on the ground,
of busy streets and the city's buzzing sound,
high from the fifth floor did I feel the chilling air,
touching my skin, making my legs shiver and I didn't care,
my tears, it kept on falling and in one more move,
to break free from this problems this is what I would do,
jump from this building and breathing would be done,
and my burdens, worries, annd everything is gone.
One more step, I know I'm done,
but then you hold my hand, and then I saw,
I am in your grips but you did it gently,
I tried everything for you to let me go,
but no, you hug me even tighter,
warming me, you, from the chilling air, you become my cover,
I never knew why but I felt like I'm hopeless,
So I cried and over and over again, I protests,
for I don't like you seeing me crying,
cause I know, I am broken and there's no room for mending.
You shut me up with soothing words,
telling me that you're there and will always be,
and then for the first time did I trust somebody,
you didn't give me any lose hopes or broken promises,
instead, you make my knees strong again.
You told me that you'll be gone some day,
but you will never let me go as long as I'm okay,
and then I saw right through your eyes,
once my friend, now my brother,
and telling me that everything could be under my power,
just always say a simple prayer,
for God from above will help me forever.
From this day on, I still miss you,
coz bro, you're the best that I got and I know you know it too,
so now I'll make you proud,
for I am stronger and better,
for the picture of you is etched finely in my heart,
touching other's lives, the way you do.

Author notes
I hope that this one is okay!!! it's not my story to tell you the truth but upon entering your contest, there's a flashback of my friend tellin her story when she was suicidal but saved by her friend, of whom is like a brother to her.
I really hope that you'll like this one.
