you make me feel calm
like the waves make me feel as they crash against the rocks

you make me feel warm
like the feeling of my mother's chicken noodle soup as the steam rises and tickles my nose

you make me feel full
like the satisfaction from putting down my fork after my meal

you make me feel safe
like the blanket on my bed makes me feel as I pull it tighter to my chest

you make me feel adored
like the flowing dresses on the mannequins in the windows of the stores

you make me feel accomplished
with the way your eyes glimmer when I turn to you

you make me feel loved
when you brush your fingers through my hair, and trace the contour of my face with your hands

you make me want to be alive
which is the feeling I've been trying to feel for a while
