[I Love You Because] [Suicidal Friend]

I love you because
by Rev. Skip L. Dunning

I love you because...
the sparkle in your eyes when we see each other
makes me feel like there is
something in the world that is right.

I love you because...
the warmth of your skin when we touch
fills me with a love
that I've never known or will know again.

I love you because...
your wit, charm and beauty can't be compared.
And I know that you are special,
there is no one like you anywhere.

I love you because...
I know that what we share is more than most people
will find in a lifetime of love.

I love you because...
the intimate moments we shared weren't lust,
or greed, or sex... there is a love
between us that defies all explaination.

I love you because...
watching you sleep, your beautiful eyes closed,
lips slightly parted, the warmth of your breath,
makes me think of everything that is beautiful and right...
like the finest works of art
somehow melted together into one beauty.

I love you because...
we were meant to be together
and I know that the choice you make will bring you happiness.

I love you because...
you are the most caring person I've ever met,
and the way you try to make everything right fills my heart.

I love you because...
you never fail to make me laugh.
Even in the most unfunny moments, you can bring a smile...

I love you because...
the sound of your voice stirs my soul.

I love you because...
you are you.



Suicidal Friend
by Crystal M White

You say life's not worth living,
People take more than giving.
You want to end your life before your time,
You're so young, not even in your prime.
I can't really stop you from doing this,
But I do know you would be missed.
I want to help but I'm so far away,
I just want to help you ease your pain.
I want to make you realize this is not the way to go,
You're cared for and loved more than you know.
I hope you decide to stay a while longer,
Let your heart live and grow a little stronger.
Don't let people push you around and get the best of you,
Because, if you did, they would win and you would lose.
I can't feel your pain or your sorrow,
But, I can pray every night that you'll be here tomorrow.
I'm always here if you ever need someone to talk to,
Or even someone to just be there for you.
For the one last time I am begging you to stay,
I only wish I knew what else to say.
But if you need anything, just please let me know.
I'll always be right here, praying that you don't go.
