I got you.

I opened up my psychotherapy textbook and a prescription note fell out. It was from the time I accompanied K to the doctor when he was really sick. Seeing that note made this particular moment flash before my eyes.

"Babe, I'm worried about you."

"I don't want to go through this again. Also, maybe it's best if we stop seeing each other and you go look for other guys."

".... Why would you say that?"

"Because... I just met you... It would be selfish to lean on you."

"I don't care."

"But I do. It just wouldn't be fair."

"Seeing each other or not, I'm still gonna be here for you. I would be a shitty friend if I left you when you need me the most."

There you have it, babe. Although we're drifting apart, I'm gonna stay true to what I said. It's as true now just as much as it was then. You best believe that.
