I never knew how much I needed to hear your voice
until I did
I didn't think I could miss you more
until I did
I didn't think you would miss me
until you did
"Why" I stuttered
My legs and hands trembling as I
held the phone closer to my ear
Your words soothing my fears
I didn't think I could cry any harder
until I did
I held back hiccups and sniffles
from the crowds I so desperately hid
whispering "Thank You"
I never knew I could feel so at peace, safe and valued
until I did.
Thank You
