What If?

What if I told you that you that you didn't matter? That you were one in 7 billion people and you didn't matter. You are a grain of sand in this blip of life. Unimportant and unworthy of all time and efforts. You are lost in this town and no one cares. You do not matter.

But...

What if I told you that you did matter? That you were one in 7 billion people and you shine like a star. You are a diamond that has come from hard times and we love you. You are important and we want to show you that we care. We found you here alone and we want to show you that you are amazing. You do matter.

What if there wasn't two sides to this equation and everyone showed respect to one another? You're opinion may make more sense then mine. Lets cut out all the names.

"You're a Liar." No, no one here is. You just don't agree with me.
"You're so crass." No, you just don't understand what I am trying to say.
"You are struggling." Yes I am, how about you help me instead of sitting there.
"You aren't involved." Maybe because I feel unwanted I don't feel the need to be involved.
"You're causing strife." It's called life, people fight and people part ways.
"You're screwed up." Yes I am, at least I admit it, unlike you.

"We have always and will always love you..."
Really? Really? So the years that I was alone and reached out, that was your love? I don't want your "love." I want someone genuine. Friends who care. Friends who I can call at three in the morning when I feel alone and at my darkest. Friends who won't judge me when I slip and fall. Friends who understand my crazy weirdness and that sometimes I will crawl away into my small hole. Friends who understand that I am needy, I admit it, I am needy. I want hugs, I want your time, and I want long lasting memories. 

So what if...all of this was real, and I found it?
Would I be truly happy then?
