It's okay when people leave
When you never get to see them again
When your last days with them are just fragments of empty feelings.
It's okay when people leave
When they tell you they'll always be there
Right by your side,
And when they tell you lies
Just to keep you feeling the same way as you do every day.
It's okay when people leave
Even if it rips you apart
Even if you say it's all right
That absence doesn't affect you.
It's okay when people leave...
Because that is how it is
Because you don't say anything
Because you smile and throw the thought of loneliness into the depths of your mind.
"It's okay"
Because another burden is nothing to you.
And you think you are stronger than that.
Stronger than someone who carelessly throws meaningless emotions around towards irrelevant people.
But the truth is...you don't say you're okay because you wear a mask
To hide the feelings you've kept away,
You say it because...
When you do, it reminds yourself.
It reminds you that you *are* okay.
That you *will* be okay.
And that you don't need anyone else to tell you but yourself
That it's *going* to be okay.
