You said.


You said it'd be nice if I'd stand with you, in front of those people.

You must know why I cannot do that. 

You must.

Why do you even ask? I'll only dissapoint. Haven't you learned by now?

 

You said "I need your support"

Support? 

What support could I give you when I cannot breathe?

What support, what comfort would you recieve by dealing with my breakdown?

I stand by what I said. 

I said "I can't handle that." If I must, I'll say it again.
