I know your world has changed and the days feel a little lonely.

I promise I’m not manipulating you. I just need your smell and comfort. Do you feel that tug in your heart when we’re apart? I do too.I miss you.When you feel as if you’ve achieved nothing, please know, my cup has never been so full. The days that get away on you will be some of my best memories of us playing together on the ground.I love you.When you feel like you don’t know who you are anymore, when you turn away from the mirror. That face will be the one I look to when I achieve something, the one I search for in a crowd. The reason for my first smile.You’re perfect to me.When you feel like the weight of it all is heavy in your heart, please know I’ve never felt lighter. Can I lay here with you a little longer? I won’t always need you like this.But I need you right now.When you feel as if you have nothing left to give, when I see your hands outstretched at me, pleading. When we’re both crying. I wish I could talk, but I can’t.If I could I would tell you,There’s a reason I chose you.I can’t see past you right now mama, because you are my world.It will get bigger, soon enough.But for now,All I see is you.Send your voice memos or stories to hesaidshesaid@astridpodcasts.co.uk for Louise and Ryan to address your dilemma on the show.Follow @hesaid.shesaid.podcast, @louise.thompson and @ryan.libbeyCREDITS:Artwork by @brittyflynn Production by Astrid Hosted on Acast.
