i wish my best friend lived in australia

it's true, i would miss you.
you wouldn't be a door away anymore, and it would hurt.

but it's also true that
life is so precious
but it's more precious with you in it
so don't go to the other side
just go to australia
you wouldn't look at people's perfect bodies anymore
and hate your own
you, with your beautiful hair
and your beautiful eyes
and your pretty nose
and perfect lips.

i wish you lived in australia
maybe then you would believe me
and look in the mirror everyday
and smile
instead of coming to my house crying
because your body isn't malnourished
and you don't look like a geometric shape with too many angles
crying because you look prettier than them

go to australia
because life is precious
i can't live without you in it
but if you live
really live
go to australia
and live.
