In a world
where it was normal
to say
"I dont like you,"
if you didn't,
and
"this is bad"
if you thought it was,
maybe it wouldn't hurt as much.

Because I could believe you
when you told me
"I like who you are,"
because you did,
and
"this is good."
because you thought it was.

And then maybe,
just maybe,
we could start to feel less
alone.
