“When I'm with you, I act differently. in a good way. I smile more and laugh more. I dont have to pretend everything is okay when its really not. with you, I can drop the fake smile and put on a real one. I dont feel hurt and alone when I'm with you. instead, I feel safe and loved. youre easy to talk to, and you listen to me. I dont have to worry about holding back with you. I dont feel self-conscious. I dont ever feel insecure or sad. you show me that you really do care, and youre not just pretending. I really appreciate your company, because with you I'm different. with you, I'm happy.”
