Do you remember how happy, how joyful I seemed? Though deep inside, I was pure sadness, pure depression. Do you remember how I tried to keep the air light, to show you how much I loved you? How I hung on your neck like I might break it with the weight of my embrace, how I kissed your cheek as if I might press it straight into your skin? You hated it. Told me to get a grip, to find direction, that I was a little crazy. Yes— crazy with love for you. And when the crisis came, the first thing you wanted back was my madness.

My Madness for You
Do you remember how happy, how joyful I seemed? Though deep inside, I was pure sadness, pure depression. Do you remember how I tried to keep the air light, to show you how much I loved you? How I hung on your neck like I might break it with the weight of my embrace, how I kissed your cheek as if I might press it straight into your skin? You hated it. Told me to get a grip, to find direction, that I was a little crazy. Yes— crazy with love for you. And when the crisis came, the first thing you wanted back was my madness.
