I'll kiss you when you're sad. I'll hold your hand so people know you're the only one I love. I might get jealous if you look at someone else but I'll never get mad at you for it. I'll give you space when you need it and have you in my arms as much as I can when you don't. I'll take you on cute, romantic dates and remind you that I love you everytime you doubt it. I'll protect you when you jump at all the scary parts of a movie. I'll take care of you when you're sick. Give me a call if you need me, I'll come. But then there are other things that I need. If my social anxiety gets in the way, I might need you to order our pizza tonight or make my doctors appointment for me. Hold my hand and reassure me when I get nervous. Don't get mad when I check something or repeat a question several times because I want to make sure I heard right or didn't make a mistake. Please be patient if I stumble over my words and be understanding if that makes me tear up or start to panic. Please please don't blame my depression on yourself, I'm happy being with you but that won't "fix" my depression. Don't ever forget that I love you.
