If you jump, I will too.

We are sad. We are just very sad people. There's nothing more and nothing less than sadness in our eyes. I can't hide from myself and you can't hide from yourself, but I won't let you fall and neither will you. All you wanted to do was fly away and I told you that if your wings came before mine I'd be very sad, so you didn't let them come out. You didn't fly away because this is where I was and you wanted to be with me and I didn't fly away because this is where you were and I couldn't be without you. If you jump, I will too. If you jump, and I can't catch you, I'm falling too. So we stopped ourselves from growing wings and we kept our feet on the ground, intertwined at the bottom of the bed. I held you tighter than ever before and you didn't seem to mind. Nothing was okay, yet we stayed. We were sad and nothing but sad, but sadness couldn't take us away. You were me and I was you, you kept me with you and I wouldn't let you go. Your heart was sad and my heart was sadder. We were okay together and nothing could change that. If you left, I'd leave, but you told me I deserved to be here. I told you the same. We're here because it's meant to be, just like the sky really is meant to be blue. Sometimes it looks grey, but it's still blue underneath. And we stayed, and we were okay. And we're still sad underneath.
