What You Feel Affects Me Too


Your comfort makes me uncomfortable

yet, your discomfort makes me comfortable.

I question if I am being fair, but

what you feel affects me too.

 

A relationship asks us to be vulnerable.

It's not an ultimatum, it's connection.

It terrifies me thinking you might never share.

What you feel affects me too.

 

Have I ever reacted negatively?

I love and care a lot about you.

I promise to give space until you're ready.

What you feel affects me too.

 

Please don't let fear hold you back.

Trust that I'm here with you.

I want to understand you better.

What you feel affects me too.
