When you are in my heart
I do not feel so empty or deficient
When you are in my thoughts
I feel my purpose knowing you are self sufficient 
We have both experienced a similar childhood  neglect
And because of this, I formed with you a bond
We have never really spoken much about it
I think I know just how you will respond
I see you as a mirror to my own inner reflection
I know I must do the work and look within
I have an opportunity to become a better man
I take a moment of silence, I pray, and then I begin
You have opened up a side of me
I never really knew The remains
Of such a deeply hurt little boy
Needing to heal and make a change
Prior to knowing you
I’ve always intellectualized my pain
I never really made the emotional connection
Of just how lost I became
You have touched me very deeply
You’ve broken through the barriers that I present
It was you who awakened me from my emotional dream
Of which there is no more time that needs to be spent
I consider you a blessing
There is something I want you to know 
Maybe we crossed paths for a reason?
Because this is my heart‘s echo
