human antidepressant

You ask how im feeling

Am I feeling any better?

I tell you “I am”

And “Thank you for the flowers”

You give me a side hug

And say “It’s gonna be okay”

I look at you longingly

Wishing we could be more one day

I know it’s a pipe dream

So I deny when you ask

If we could go to the movies

Or something like that

But late at night

When it’s just me and you

I wish I could kiss you

But I fight myself not to

Because i have to go soon

And you do too

I wish to be in love

Was in the cards for us

But it’s hard to be in love

When you’re growing up

So you’ll keep curing my depression

And i’ll keep smiling your way

Because you’re the only one

I truly smile at anyways
