If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

Sometimes I fear you've seen too much of me

other times I realize you barely know me at all

I think there's a heartbreaking beauty in not wanting to forget a certain person. Even if they are no longer with you, you want to carry them with you. You want to engrave every detail of them in your heart. You replay the person's voice in your head until it starts to fade away, and there is nothing you can do about it. It hurts to remember them, but it's worth it
