Hey. Yeah you. Listen up. I love you. People always say that but do they really mean it. I mean I would know. My mom beat the living hell out of me for 9 years of my life and she said she loved me all the time. I. Love. You. Empty words right. Well listen to this:
Empty words and broken promises.
You fade away
no one notices
no one jumps in to save you.
Yet I notice. I see you.
I understand what your going through.
I'll hold your hand
I want you to know that I appreciate you and you are more meaningful beyond words.
I am here for you no matter what the needs are.
So instead of saying I love you, say I see you. I hear your silent plea. I understand you.
You'll save lives.
Now I want to tell you something, You are amazing and I couldn't imagine what the world would be like without you. I have had so many chances to quite. Just right there. Just to stop the pain, the tears, the screaming of agony no one notices but me. I want someone to understand me more than what I can tell you. I want to trust people but no one is worth trusting. Right? Wrong. We are beautiful humans who make mistakes and can mend and heal each others any way possible. So instead of I love you, I see you. I hear you and I understand you. ♡

Uh, thank you?
