I'm not going to say it's easy loving someone with depression. It's difficult, it's repetitive, it means taking one step forward and two steps back. Sure, it's not easy but if you do it right it will be the most beautiful thing you ever do. They never listen when you compliment them. But when they can't see their worth it's like a masterpiece that is just yours to marvel at. Don't be discouraged when a bouquet of flowers doesn't make them smile. Don't get angry when they sleep in the other room. Keep bringing them flowers, keep brewing warm cups of tea, keep trying. Because on good days there is nothing more beautiful than their smile or the sound of their laugh. Some days you may want to give up. Just remember why you've loved them this long. Remember the freckles on their face or the curve of their lips and the way they keep you coming back even on dark days. You can't solve anything but you can hold their hand while they face the world. You can't stop the bad days but you can wipe tears from reddened cheeks and kiss the monsters away for the night. You can't promise it will be over tomorrow but you better promise to be there when tomorrow comes.
