i must be strong

I lay here and miss you,
as tears roll down my cheeks.
I can't let you know though,
I must be strong for you.

I musn't let you see my fear,
I need you to feel safe
I worry so much about you,
Though I can't let it show.

I must be strong,
I must be sure,
I must be unbreakable.

I love you more than anything,
So I must swallow my fears
and stop crying.
I know we'll be okay,
just not today.
