I need you to stay even when you want to leave.
Especially then. Because that’s when I need you the most,
because staying when it’s hard is what will make this real.
It’s what we’ll make us strong together even when we feel weak on our own.
I need you to stay, but I don’t need you to hold back your words
or to always force a happy face.
I’m not fragile, and I can handle you at your worst.
I want to know you at your worst, because I want to know every part of you.
Because even if I don’t like every part of you, I will love you wholeheartedly.
