I just saw this picture on Facebook
Not two minutes ago
It said
"Teddy bears, protecting children since 1902"
I couldn't help but think of you
Because,
You know,
You have been keeping my monsters at bay
And maybe...
Maybe that was too much to ask.
Monster protection wasn't your job.
It shouldn't have been.
You should be able to do your own thing
Without me weighing you down
Without me always messaging you because I think I need to talk
I think I understand
Why you took the step backward that you did.
And it was probably good for you
I'm not saying I'll be okay
Because frankly that would be a lie
I'll probably struggle with this
But this is what you need
So I'll respect your wishes.
I'm here for you, if you need me
And I hope he is as well.
I hope you're talking to him.
I just want you to know:
You don't have to be my teddy bear.
