The day i saved a boy

Today was a day of new experiences
and i made a friend too
this friendship is closer
than me and you

we met on a brigade
and he wanted to die
he stood on the railing
and spread his arms to fly

i jump up there too and
pulled him back down
he didn't say anything
not even a sound

so i broke the silence and said
what is wrong today?
he shook his head as if
he didn't want to say

i said i understand
i know what its like
to have to live
this shit life

but listen you can jump
do what you like
but remember suicide is contagious
it will end a lot of lives

first will be you mum
then you sister too
then it will be you secret best friend
he can't live with out you

then it will be everyone who loves them
like you auntie and her husband
then it will move on to
the girlfriend your bestie always wanted

so before you get up on the bridge
remember my words
when you die today
you will only be the first

you will not be the only
no one will smile again
and remember this
tell you best friend

he will help you, though you misery
and you can talk things through
and remember this day
as the day i saved you

and i walked of
will a smile on my face
then i turned around
and this boy waved

he walked away and i
could tell there was a smile too
he turned around again
and yelled"thank you"

~hey this isn't a true story~
