How You Make Me Feel

July 6, 2023

(For Denali)

You make me feel happy
every moment with you
is full of so much joy and wonder
that I never knew

You make me feel safe
When I’m with you, I’m free
Not bound or suffocated by expectations
Able to be who I’m meant to be

You make me feel beautiful
confident in who I am
Never scared or ashamed
on my own two feet, I can stand

You make me feel loved
My mind, my body, my heart
I know now that I’m special
Every piece of me, every part

I hope you never doubt
that these feelings are real
and they’re because of you
and how you make me feel
