Depression

They say that
depression
can ruin relationships
depression
can drive others away
depression
can cause suicide.

They say to
take drugs
drink medicine
talk to a shrink
forget everything.

They do not know
that sometimes
all it takes
is a hug
and kiss:
"I love you."
Reassurance,
everything will be okay
life will move on
the world will continue to turn
this is not the end.
