I have been severely damaged. I was starting my way back from my worst and most recent blow when I got to you. I had never had unsolicited encouragement in my life. If I got it at all, it was out of pity after someone heard me beating myself up and just said it because they thought they should. When I got it from you out of nowhere, I felt like you meant it. For the first time, it felt genuine and like you really believed it. It was exactly what I needed. We got along great. Then you left, and now they ignore me unless I do something wrong. I want you to come back. I finally got somebody good, and they left...Again.
