“Why can't I be happy all the time?" she whispers to me, like it's a secret. But in a way, it is. Sometimes it's hard for the girl I love to get out of bed, and there are times that she only does it for me. But there are also times when I'm not even enough to fight the darkness away.” quote by Paige P. Horne
