I just want someone I can hug irl. I want to feel someone else's heartbeat, feel their warmth, be comforted in a way I haven't in years. 

I want someone to tell me everything's going to be alright and that I'm strong. 

I want someone to validate my feelings.. I might only be 17 but it hurts to be alive and here..  I just wish I could cry like I used to.
