Never
You know that I never told you, that the first day we met you calmed my fear And the day I cried so much you healed me with your audacity to just walk into my mess and sit with me And you know I never told you you still make me smile and, the memories of these still calms and heals But maybe you didn’t … Continue reading Never
Hope & Fears (pt.1)
I was going to write something else today, but this morning a situation added to the heaviness that always rests my heart on this day.
