Because

I did not stay alive

So you could die

I did not stay

So you could go

I did not smile

So you could frown

I did not cry

So you would wipe my tears

I did not hold on to you

So you would push me away

I did not hug you

So you could flinch

I did not kiss you

So you'd run away.

I stayed alive

So we would be together

Till the end of time

I stayed

Because I wanted you to stay

I smiled

Not because

I was laughing at you

But for you to smile too

I cried

So you would ask me

What was wrong?

I held on to you

Because I felt that

We were being push apart

I hugged you

So you would hug me back

I kissed you

Because I loved you

And I wanted to know

That you did too.
