The Cozy, Introverted Therapist

Remember December, not so long ago?

When in the darkest part of life we rediscovered hope

In the form of newfound camaraderie.

Two broken hearts mending together pieces

Unintentionally, without agenda,

Except to show up genuinely.

Even in the frosty chill of December,

There was warmth in the instant bond

Of two people with uncanny similarities,

Freely unearthing the shadows lurking in their histories

To be seen and released for the first time,

In the purifying relief of non-judgment and empathy.

I never told you then what I know now,

That for me, finding you was no coincidence

But a reuniting of two friends long acquainted,

Meeting again to uphold the other.
