The Things I Leave Unsaid

Scars

First he starts acting differently and I don't think much of it

Then he tells me that he's been feeling bad lately and I tell him that it'll pass

Then he tells me that he thinks he needs help and I say that he's overreacting

Then he no longer speaks to anyone and I figure he needs space

Then he starts giving his things away and I accept his gifts gladly

Then he suddenly disappears

And I finally piece together what happened
