Thank You


"Not every conversation will change you. But any conversation can"

I sat across from you
And you saw the inner demons I was fighting
You listened to my struggles, worries, and fears
Never once judging me for the decisions I have made

You spoke honestly with me
As you have always done before
Opening my eyes to the person I have been unable to see
That person is me

You took your time
Making sure that I was listening
Not letting me dispute what you were saying
Allowing me to soak everything in

You knew I was in a tender place
Wrestling with uncertainty
And you lifted me up
Teaching me that I need to believe

Due to the respect I have for you
Your words left a mark on my soul
Carrying me to more solid ground
Where I am able to stand on my own

I struggle to find the words to express
The gratitude I feel
For you being you
And opening my eyes up to me

Thank you does not showcase
How life changing that conversation was for me
But it is all I have
So, thank you, thank you, thank you

I am happy you were able to share your soul and reveal youself! Belief is sometimes easy; other times hard!
Be proud and stand tall! When your rain is poured, it allows your soul to open a bit more and we can see the truth of you! xXx

So happy that you have someone like that in your life, and that you were able to hear and believe.
