Stranger's words

Why, after all that has been said, is it that a stranger must be the one to remind, remind us of what we are reminded daily. Why is it that the daily words begin to mean nothing and after nothing, they are not even acknowledged. Whose fault is it that we forget who we are to one another? Who is to be blamed for forgetting who we are to be to each other?

He tells her what she means to him, but because depression has her choked up, she is unable to think. She is unable to understand words that once took so much to say, words that one had to hold in to make sure the time is right. "Hes supposed to say those things, it is in his nature to say things he mean to make you feel better." 

She tells him that he's the world to her. She tells him how proud he continues to make her. But her words mean nothing because she is supposed to say that. "She is close to him, those who are close to you will say anything to make you feel better. Those who do not know you would tell the truth." 

Someone can tell you what you mean to them, but people shrug it off, it mean little. A stranger says the same and it raises one from unhappiness.
