THANK YOU

Thank you for the talk, the space,

for seeing me beyond my face.

I’m not that good with spoken word,

but somehow still, I felt you heard.

I trip on thoughts when I try to speak,

my voice goes quiet, my tone gets weak.

But you read the silence, saw through the still,

understood the things I couldn’t spill.

So thank you, truly, for standing near,

for hearing the words I couldn’t make clear.

You knew my heart without me trying

and that kind of love

feels like surviving.
