i'll always be ok

I heard a quote that said, “As long as you are happy, don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay… I’ll always be okay.” But those words echo louder every day. I smiled when I read it, Like it was something strong, something true, But late at night, in the quiet, All it does is lead me back to you. They say I’ll be fine, That time will do its part, But no one ever tells you How slow it heals a heart. I heard a quote that said “I’ll always be okay instead,” Yet there are nights I lie awake With heavy thoughts inside my head. If happiness is all that matters, Then I’ll step out of your way, But don’t believe for a second That I don’t wish you’d stayed. So go and find your laughter, Go chase your brighter day, And I’ll keep telling myself “I’ll be okay… I’ll always be okay.”
