strange, i know

I know that you can't cast light without also casting shadow,

But the point still stands that I see that light in you--

I see that radiance, that life,

And I see the shadows, the draw towards death,

And yet I am here. I cannot help it, I will not resist.

I am here beside you, walking with you

Behind so I can catch you

Leading you when you need guidance through darkness too strong even for you to see through.

You mean a good chunk of the world to me and if you go,

a good chunk of my world goes with you.

You are important to me.

You are important to the world.

You are important to yourself.

Stay.
