Nobody but You

At some point in your life you are going to wake up and realize you can depend on no one.
Nobody will dry your tears for you every time.
Nobody will hold your hand for you whenever you need.
Learn to depend on yourself, and only yourself.
For you will always be let down otherwise.
And for those nights where you can't hold back the cries,
the pain, the fear and desolate feelings,
realize you have to wipe away your own tears every time someone else doesn't.
Realize no one will hold your hand and that you must hold your own.
Realize that I love you was a feeble lie said for comfort and nothing more.
Say it to yourself if you need, but remember it is an empty phrase.
If you feel empty realize you need to fill yourself.
After all, there is nobody but you.
