I feel safe here.
[Just kidding.]
And I've always known that this was how it'd end.
[Just kidding.]


(Have you ever felt so alone that the slightest movement in the room can scare you?)


I love the thought of staying here where I am forever and growing old.
[Just kidding.]
And I love what you've done to me. The way you picked me up and dropped me over and over again. I love it because it helped me grow.
[Just fucking kidding.]


(Have you ever held in tears all day and when they finally come out in the end you're surprised because you didn't know you could cry so hard?)


I like who I am, flaws and all...and even all those scars you influenced.
[Just kidding.]
I'm positive that everything will be okay, because I know that someday you'll come home and that hospital gown will be folded and put away, and I'll feel like I'm actually at home.
[Just kidding.]


(Have you ever forgotten why you'd want to live?)


I'm okay and I'm actually really happy now.
[And of course, I'm just kidding again.]
And I love you....I always have, even through all of the fights and how much you've hurt me and how much you've made me want to die and I feel relieved because you're far away now.
[And this is the part I'm trying to figure out....]
My boyfriend challenged me to write a poem with "just kidding" in it because he doesn't think "just kidding" is poetic.
Did I do okay? lol
