Hey you

Hey you, 

I might have been just a girl walking by, but fate wasn't that kind. I became your friend. I talked with you, and every time I talk with you, a shred of me rips apart and dissolves into the essence of the words I say. It is love, it almost always is for me, but it's of a different kind. Love doesn't need to be passionate and sensual; the only sense it should appeal to is your heart. Sometimes, a bright smile, a sprightly joke, an irrelevant secret or a ridiculous statement can express love. It's the love that says 'I'm here for you.' Why can't anyone find the heart to reciprocate? 
I haven't really wanted much in my life. I've always considered myself fortunate, compared to everyone around me. I'm a little proud perhaps, but I like it that when people around me are moaning, I have enough happiness for all of us. If it isn't meant to be shared, it isn't happiness, it's a distraction.

My apologies, I digress. I don't know if this makes me a drama queen, but I hate being ignored. No, it isn't hate. It's something deeper. It's fear. Fear of being forgotten. Fear of being erased. Fear of being meaningless. 
Every person deserves to be remembered. To be valued. You don't need to refer to them as royalty, just be loyal enough to reply. 

I sometimes think this is why I'm so fortunate to be happy enough. So that this one fear, this one pain can haunt me throughout life. They say facing your fears erases them. I won't deny it, I'd say it's very true. But this innate feeling engraved in every human heart is different; letting yourself be ignored only throws you deeper into the abyss. 

I might not know who you are. I might not know your name, but I do know that there will be someone who will love you so deeply that that fear will fade. You will find someone who will put you first, and don't you dare tell yourself different. 

But until then, I know you need to hear this. So this is all I can give to ease your heart,

I love you. And I will be there for you if you need me.

Don't ignore anyone. Try make a minute for them, it could change lives.

Love,

Me
