The night she tried to take her life

2 years later and i find myself here

I look at you now

2 years after your suicide attempt

It still worries me that it could happen again

I don't know if it'll ever be the same; you, our friendship and me

I knew about your depression but not the extent of it

And I'll forever wonder what would of happened if i had said something

I'm so sorry  i never got you help

I'm so sorry i never said anything earlier

 

You tried to take your own life at just the age of 14

I was with you the night of your attempt

You said you needed to use the bathroom

The next few hours are a blur, but all i remember are those 8 words

"I wanna die, just leave me to die."

Next month marks 2 years since that night

2 years since you tried to take your life

I don't know if you wanted to die or to be saved

You've gotten help since then

You no longer trust me because i told your mom

But i don't regret telling her

Because i love you

But i don't think i'll ever be the same
