You make a connection with another soul
Someone who listens, responds consoles.
The world seems different, distinctively new
The outlook on life a warm crimson hue.
Friendship, response, a reply in the wind
Can keep someone going, "alone" redefined
A person out there took time from their day
To write you and let you know its okay.
Listening to emotions come from a word
Reflection accepted acknowledged, heard.
Oh what a gift that energy brings
Isolation divorced, free with new wings.
Thank you for hearing my words indirect
Meanings lurking that somewhat reflect
How I might feel, just what I believe
Wrong or mistaken, you just receive.
Your response a discovery, revelation for me
You heard me, still care, helps set me free.
Ability, and power to find who I am
Love knowing that someone just gives a damn.
