I don't know your name.
I don't know your name.
I don't know who you are.
I'd like to think that what you said to me had good intentions
And that you meant true goodwill.
I will probably never be able to say this to you in person.
Thank you.
Thank you for giving me a reason to live.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face.
Thank you for lifting my spirits, even just for a little while.
Thank you for making me feel like I'm not that bad, even just for a little while.
I know that I didn't say any of this.
That none of these thoughts could be felt from my meek and feeble "thank you."
My half-hearted smile on my face as I looked up at you, surprised that an actual human being had something to say to me.
I know that what I did or looked like may have spoken otherwise.
How I tried to contain my look of astonishment on my face
And the lighter spring on my step
As I went to my next round
Confident that I'll do ok.
I wish I had said these things.
I wish I can say these things.
I'll never know of you truly meant what you said.
I like to think that you did.
If not, that ok.
I'll still live.
I'll be ok.
I've gotten used to it.
I hope that our paths cross again someday
And that maybe
Just maybe
I can find a way to show my gratitude to you.
If not
Or until then
I will be what you were to me for others
I will try to make people smile for a moment
I will try my best to keep my head up
And that smile you brought to my face.
I'll walk with my head high, my mind clear, and my heart pure.
I want to make others feel the same way.
I would like to make people
Who feel just as left out and worthless as me
Feel proud of themselves
Even just for a little while.
Thank you.
