When I got up the courage to speak
when every rain drop weighed a thousand pounds
when all my fear dissolved into nothing
when you took my pain and gave me flowers
when you took the flowers and gave me pain
when my anger was all that I had
when paper was all that I had
when I wanted to abandon the world
when I wanted to be fictional
when I won’t live here anymore
when I was terrified of the future
when I’m ashamed of my past
when I was completely alone
when I am alone
when I will be alone
when all I could think about was me
when all I could think about was anime
when all I can think about is you
when I’ll be a million miles from anyone who speaks my language
when I’ll be sad that everyone speaks my language
when I only had that street light for comfort
when I’m falling
when I hurt you
when I’m a fool
when I’m a nerd
when I’ll look back
when I evaluate myself
when I look at what’s left
and when I see you still standing beside me.
