I loved you.
You didn't love me back.
I begged you to pay attention to me.
You just ignored me and went about your normal life.
Unlike my horrible, twisted life.
Yes, I cut my arm, thought suicidal thoughts.
But I stayed here, because if thought I had a chance with you.
But, one summer afternoon, I was at the park and saw you with her.
Your new girlfriend.
I saw how your eyes were lit up, how happy you were with her.
And I knew I could never make you happy like she did, like you did me.
So that was when I decided to leave this awful earth.
The next day, around 12pm, I was about to jump on the tracks of a train, and finally leave.
But someone pulled me back before I could jump.
It was you. You saved my life, you cared when I thought no one did.
You embraced me, and told me I was your life, you'd die if anything happened to me.
You said you loved me.
When I thought you didn't.
You asked me out. I asked about the girl I saw you with. You told me she was just a friend.
You asked me out again.
I said yes.
I was finally happy. You made me happy again and I can't thank you enough for that
