I feel seen.
The way you know exactly what to say
Precisely when you need to.
All of the right words
Comforting me like a warm hug.
I feel heard.
The way you listen with intent
To every word I say
As if it is the best story you have ever heard
Making me feel understood.
I feel supported.
The way you take interest
In all of those little things I tell you about
That are important to me
That are now also important to you.
I feel safe.
The way you reassure me that I am not a burden
Even on the worst mental health days
When I want to self destruct
You take away the that doubt.
You make me feel
Seen
Heard
Supported
Safe.
How do I make you feel?
