1.The meaning of living, the reason for running
2.I kept searching for them blindly3.
4.Hiding the self I hated so much
5.To the point of nausea
6.In a place where no one could see7.
8.I turned the blade on myself
9.Driving it deeper and deeper
10.Into the depths of my soul11.
12.So fragile, almost unbearably ugly
13.What am I supposed to move toward?14.
15.The meaning of living, the reason for running,
16.I kept searching for them blindly
17.My heart was spiraling into madness
18.And in the midst of it, you gave me—19.
20.Love and warmth, and the knowledge that I’m not alone
21.You taught me things I can’t even begin to put into words22.
23.I couldn’t believe
24.In something like hope
25.And so I embraced despair instead26.
27.Even as I wasted away
28.I stopped feeling bewildered by the sight of myself29.
30.The sound of madness rang in my ears
31.But I no longer need that kind of past32.
33.Until the moment I crumble and decay
34.I will keep moving forward
35.Your smile, your tears—
36.They gave me the courage to face tomorrow37.
38.Any future, no matter how daunting, no longer frightens me now
39.This time, I’ll be the one to light your way40.
41.All of it was because of this weakness of mine
42.I destroyed everything
43.Stumbling through fragmented memories
44.I walked on, covered in blood45.
46.The meaning of living
47.The reason for running
48.I kept searching for them blindly
49.But
50.Because you were by my side—51.
52.Fighting without giving up
53.You gave me words that saved me
54.It’s okay to lean on others, it’s okay to cry
55.You accepted even someone like me56.
57.Love and warmth, and the knowledge that I’m not alone
58.You taught me things I can’t even begin to put into words
