People

I thank you.....

For the willingness to run down a cold flight of stairs, wrapped in a blanket because you heard me. For sitting with me and knowing what was going on, even though I couldn't bring myself to say the words.  
You reminded me I'm not alone.

For the beautiful smile you give and for the ear you lend when I can no longer keep it to myself. For the words of mine you keep a secret even though you are not obligated.
You reminded me to trust in others.

For the "r u okay?" text when you saw the look on my face that everyone looked passed. For the hug that night that never ended even though you knew there were eyes questioning why you laid there.
You reminded me I could fall asleep without tears.

For the questions, the conversation, the silence, and the tissues. For knowing exactly what I need to make it through the day.
You reminded me I'll be alright.

For being there through thick and thin. For being on my side (even if it has to be a secret) and standing up for me.
You reminded me people care.

For pointing out all of the good in me. For helping me back to my feet. For helping me find my laugh and the "twinkle in my eye."
You reminded me to believe in myself.


For the way you treat me and the way you make me smile. For sharing your stories and listening to mine. For the rules we'll break and the steps we'll take together.
You reminded me people are good and there is still love to be found.


For the everything in the past and everything in the future, I thank you.
