i'm
afraid
to be happy
because it never
lasts long
like the innocence
of a child
or the apples
on the island
or the leaves
in the autumn
or the gas
that runs
my car
i wish
things could
last forever
because
i'm so tired
of having
to worry
about all
the time
i have left
I just wanted
you to know
that I'll never care
how far you push me away
because when I told you
that I would stay
I meant it
you're a little lost
and a little damaged
but you're not hopeless
I know who you are
I love who you are
and that's why I'll stay
so you learn to
love yourself too
