Dear stranger, How did you see straight through the lies I told? How did such average eyes witness the pain clouding my words and actions? You didn't see me as everyone else, but you accepted me like I was one of them. How? Do you know how much gratitude I offer to you for not treating me like a fragile piece of glass, yet not recklessly throwing me around like a hot potato? Do you even realize how deeply this affects me, weeks later? I wish I understood you better, I wish we could've talked longer than we were given the chance. You remind me of someone, yet you don't at the same time. I want people to see me like I see you, but it isn't like that. They see me as Eeyore, when I really just want to be a Tigger. But you're more than a Tigger. Your a Tigger and a Winnie the Pooh bear mixed with a hit of Roo. I admire you for that, and wish I could see you more often than not, just to feel like I'm accepted. Sincerely, The girl you hugged that night, when you couldn't even remember her name

A Letter to You
