Living With Lizzie

When I first met you, I had no idea just how badly I needed you. I knew I needed someone, but I never expected you to be that person. I was walking around with so much darkness hanging over me. My mind was spiraling out of control and, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop it. I put on a front for everyone, but you saw past my smile. I had never felt as comfortable with anyone else as I did with you. I had so many walls up, but one by one, you knocked them all down. You made me feel so safe and so loved, and I knew I could trust you when I couldn't trust anyone else. Though it took a little while, once I started opening up to you, you listened without judgment. You never rushed our conversations or made me feel like I was a burden to you. You showed me that I was loved and that you truly cared. You gave me exactly what I needed and, unbeknownst to you, you saved my life in the process. I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you and your unconditional love. Y
