Someone Like Me?

“Someone like you.”

Three words no one wants to here. At least not in that order. Because if someone said ‘Like you someone’ that’d be kind of funny. But no, someone like you is not a kind term. And I had grown kind of used to it, being one of the schools nerds and all. But hearing him say it, in the way he did, in the context he did, was heartbreaking.
Someone like me?

“You know what I mean.”
