With this person though, you know it’s different.

You should date a small town boy if you want a simple love.

I wonder if you ever think about the girl you left behind.

I trust in the feelings I get around you. Those kind of feelings aren’t just something you throw away.

I don’t want to have a conversation about if I’m OK or not. I’m not.

I thought I knew what calm and content felt like, but now that you’re in my life, I don’t think I truly knew much about those things at all.

That’s the thing about depression, there’s no real reason to have it, you just do. It’s a part of your brain. It is something that is for some reason your reality. It’s mine too.

I want you to tame my wild and unruly heart and make it your own. I want to become a part of you in a way I’ve never been a part of someone before.

I need someone to pray for me. I need someone to beg for my soul back because it’s completely imprisoned in your hands.

Don’t just tell me how you want to tie me up, tell me why you want to tie me down.

All you really deserve is the honesty it takes to move on from this.

Eventually I will let this go and move on. I will be able to get out of bed and face the universe without that dreadful feeling like it’s out to get me.
