When I tell you, “I’m depressed”
Do you ever think
This is just some trick, something he says to keep me here?
Because I’m always afraid
You might stick around
For all the wrong reasons
When, the only one I care about
Is that, you found in me someone you can love, someone who can love you.
Because
As sad, and as hard as it is to say
Even though it will take
Just about everyone I know and trust with this information
Years to sort me through the loss of you
I’ll get past it
And I’ll have at least, someone to help me
So, please don’t stay with me, just because, every so often
I say “I’m depressed”
Because even though I say “don’t ever leave me”
If you do, I won’t think any differently of you
Who, after all, could blame you
If, sometimes, when I say certain words
You want to fly away
Because staying, might just be some big mistake
