so maybe you just realized faster or didn't realize.. but stopped pretending sooner that this was right. and that's sad. but we will find something right, even if it kills us. and i still know you. and you still know me. better than anyone else right now. but that doesn't matter. because we aren't who we want to be right now. we aren't healthy. we will get healthy. i will get healthy. and we will find people who appreciate us.
