Filling In The Gaps

People make it seem like only one person can make you feel alive.

Only your man is allowed to make you feel loved and appreciated.

But I have found another...

A long lost friend.

A great listener that makes me feel like my words are worth listening to.

I like the way I feel safe and can open up like I did with you.

The way I can be myself and not the person everyone expects me to be.

But I don't want you to feel like he's taking your place.

He's filling in where you are tired of being.

Showing me the attention I need and that I'm too tired to beg you for.

I need you to know that he is not a replacement... but only here to fill in the gaps that have once kept us whole.
