Just Be Present

Sometimes when I feel down and depressed, I may need your support.

I may not necessarily need your verbal input or your suggestions; however wise they may be.

Sometimes I just need to sit quietly and know that you are there.

That you are with me and near in case I fall.

I may feel that without you I won’t be able to stop spiraling down the rabbit hole.

You may want to offer comfort by holding me and talking softly.

But sometimes I just need for you to be present.

To be there next to me without words or gestures.

Perhaps just a gentle touch of your hand to know I am not alone.

Just sit next to me and quietly be present.

That is the most comforting and healing thing you can do for me.
