I Am Sane


Because I Love You

Every song I hear reminds me

 of you and me together

 

Because I love you

Coming home at the end of the worst days

Is like having an elephant taken off my chest

 

Because I love you

I look for things that remind me

Of your voice, your actions, your beliefs

 

Because I Love You

I can travel the world and know

I still have something to come back for

 

Because I Love You

I’m not afraid to try and fail

Because I know I’m loved unconditionally

 

Because I Love You

I know not every person is going to hurt me

and drag me down so that they feel big

 

Because I Love You

The world is not so big and scary

And even the darkest places have a light

 

Because I Love You

The panic attacks have almost stopped

And the depression is suppressed

 

Because I Love You

My darkest side full of insecurities and doubts

Is shriveling away and I am becoming stronger

 

Because I Love You

I am sane.

I am complete.
