When I struggled for air,
     You’d pull me in close, our breathing would synch.
When I struggled for calm,
     You’d speak in warm tones, my mind would find peace.
When I struggled to swallow,
    You’d sense on your own, and make me slow down.
When I struggled with pain,
    You’d cure with your touch, lean in and stroke hair.
When I struggled with myself,
    You’d give me your love; I felt valued, worth.
When I struggled …
    You’d make me feel whole.
   You’d elevate.
  You’d comfort
You would.
You.
