You Are The One Much Stronger

Don't worry.
I wont be the one to let you down.

'But...
How do I know this? '

I've taken more from you than anyone else.
And even in my illnesses,
Who has been there for you...
To dismiss my own suffering?

'You've been sick?
I didn't realize it.'

I know.

'Why didn't you tell me? '

What's the point of both of us being weak?
I needed you to believe,
You are the one much stronger.
