Words I'll Never Say

♥{36} Somebody Cares

October 22nd 2016, 14:35

The thing is, somebody cares. I know your best friend seems really busy all the time and is shit at texting but she still loves you and she talks to you more than she talks to anyone else and you're the only breath of calm she has on this planet.

The boy in your science class loves seeing what music you're listening to on your headphones - he has the same taste and wishes he has the nerve to ask you about it.

Your English teacher loves the insight you have on your papers.

The stranger who you sat next to the other day on the bus wanted to chat with you about the book you were reading, but he was afraid to interrupt you.

Somebody cares.

The person who lives down the street from you notices when you are sick because they don't see you stomping your way to the school bus - it's how they know it's time to get their breakfast ready.

Somebody is looking for you at the party, but when you don't show up, some part of them is disappointed.

Somebody is looking for you in the library, in the spot where you eat lunch, in front of that step you always seem to trip on.

I know your relationship with your parents may be a little complicated and there's drama between your friends and your love life is sort of shaped like a constant question and everybody seems all caught up in their own lives and their own happiness and nobody really notices, but somebody always does.

Every face in your dreams is someone you have met (unless it was some celebrity you haven't met yet :p but I hope you get the chance to), and that means that you are in a million's strangers' heads. They think about you when they wake up, they see you when they go to bed.

Somebody cares.

Somebody still thinks about you even though you were just a person with a nice outfit or a good eyeliner or a great smile or because you were having one of those moments that are so charmingly human in nature or because they wonder what you were thinking about or drawing or writing or just because you're alive, and that makes you fascinating.

When you were walking in the streets and saw a dog hanging his head out of a car and suddenly broke into a smile, there was a girl in the front seat of that car, and I was her and I still think about you, and I hope you get more chances to smile like that.

And there is you, sitting here reading this, and by some small extension, meeting me, and I'm telling you, I care. Somebody always does. I promise. I promise. You are loved.

“Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile,
so when you are lonely,
remember this is true:
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you.”
