Her Side

I was alright
when I forgot myself.
“No” she said.
“You were yourself,
you were the man
that I once knew,
who made me laugh,
and others too.
What happened to you
I cannot explain.
But it hurts me
to see you in such pain.
I know that
it will take time.
Just remember
being depressed
is not a crime”
With her by my side
maybe there is a way
to stop my slide.
