Wish I Could Stay

I didn't want to disappear.
I just thought I had to.

This song is for those moments when you hide your pain in silence,
hoping someone will notice-without saying a word.

Kindness used to scare me.
But silence was worse.

Even if no one is here right now,
if I can still hear my own voice, faint but real-
maybe that's enough to breathe again.

I can't say "I'm okay"yet.
But if morning still comes after the night,
maybe that's enough.

I'm still here.
And so are you.
