When I was younger,
I wasn't afraid of dying.
It's a part of life.
The ending.

I'd jump off the swing and climb in trees and my mum kept telling how dangerous it was.
But I wasn't afraid.

But ever since I met you,
ever since you're by my side,
you made me realize,
I'm finally afraid.
I can't be missing out on spending my life with you.
I want to stick around because of you.

And I know,
life hurts sometimes.
But I want-
no wait,
I NEED to be there for you.

I'm afraid of dying because I can't leave you.
I want to stick around because of you.
I understand if you don't want to hear this type of message. But I'm just glad I found the person who made me realize this.
