I know you feel bad.
I know you hide yourself under fake smiles.
I know you feel sad.
I know you.

But.

I don't know why.
Why you feel bad.
Why you hide yourself under fake smiles.
Why you feel sad.
Why you won't tell me.

So I won't ask.

But please.
I don't know how to help.
But you've always praised me for making people feel better.
And I've always prided myself because of it.
But when you don't let me make you feel better.
When you shut me out.
It makes me feel like all those words were lies.
But I love you.
I love you so much.
And you say no one will miss you.
But yet you wave back at everyone who says hi.
Everyone who will miss you.
But I'm too late aren't I?
You've already tried.
But they saved you too soon.

I'm sorry.
But please stay.
Stay despite everything you're going through because there's more.
So much more for you.
Stay because I love you.
Because everyone loves you.
Stay despite everything everyone's put you through because they'll get better.
They may have left you wounds.
And wounds may leave scars.
But even scars will disappear into nothing but a memory.
And memories are all you need.
So stay.
Please.
Stay despite everything you hate because for every horrible thing here.
There's something far more beautiful.
Stay for your favorite movies.
Stay for your favorite people, your favorite colors, your favorite stories.

There's so much you love.
And I can name every one of them.
So please.
