I decided it'd be better to disappear
This battle had been going on too long
The silence about it
Shattered the universe
Until I heard your sobs for him
You only knew him for a month
And now he's gone
I've never heard your sobs
Until this moment
And then I realized...
If I disappeared
You'd be a real mess
That if one day I wasn't here
If I didn't let you say goodbye
You'd blame yourself
It'd be a knife
Not only would it cut your soul
But it would tear your very being
I realize that now
I see that you do love me
As hard as it may be
I'll fight for you
Because despite the demons
And the mental issues
I know I can't destroy you
If I saw you worse than just now...
You'd be silent
You'd be heartbroken
Nothing about you would be you
Every life of you would be drained
And I can see you losing it
You'd lose it like I did
And I can't do that
You mean the world to me
And now I understand
That I matter to you
I understand that meaning now
It means that love is unconditional
That even when I mess up
You don't care
Because we're human and we make mistakes
You never expected me to be more
So I've always felt enough
And now I understand
I'm more than that
I love you goofball
I'm fighting for you
"I'll see you in the mornin'!"
