"people like me would catch a person even if she carried the weight of the biggest stone on earth. we would find a way to love her and keep her safe. we would buy cookies and cook her popcorn. we would ask her to come over for dinner and tell everyone on the table to be kind to her because she’s really shy. people like me would protect anyone from the cold of life and would try our best not to hurt them. we make hurricanes seem gentle. but we need to be shown some love in return too. we need someone who understands and sees us and value us. if we don’t feel anything back, we won’t last long. we will leave. and the person we leave one day will know what she lost and it will hurt like hell. cause when you’re mature enough to handle a kind, loving, intense person, you will want to have people like me back. but i should warn you: you might not get it again.”
