Finding Direction

Hello, it's you again.

I'm here to show you what we need.

Love and care, kindness, empathy.

Give me that, I give you that.

Because we are our biggest supporter.

Speak softly to us, we need reminding.

Because holding on to the bad

Thank you for being my friend

Thank you for listening

For laughing with me

For taking trips to Colorado

For sitting on the couch

For having three cats

For going to concerts

For exploring ourselves

For being there when i fell apart

Thank you for showing me a family

For being a family

Thank you

It sits in my chest

I can physically feel it.

My mind is overpowering

That you haven’t spoken to in over a year and it’s like nothing has changed. He picked up and we talked for 2.5 hours. It was healing, he helped remind me that I have good in me and things take time.

It reminded me of times in high school where I felt so alone in a small town but he would talk to me and I felt connected to an outside world.

It is real

And it hurts.
