The first time you asked me, “how are you feeling?”
That day, I wore a dress you have never seen.
That day was a sad day.
That day I was dealing with grief.
That day I was uncertain.
Then you walked up to me and said “how are you feeling?”
That was the first time you asked me about how I felt
Then I looked at you and said “How am I feeling?”
You answered, “Yes”
That was when I told you for the first time, how I truly felt. I told you about my struggles, my pain, my fears, my concerns.
You listened, you made me feel better, you shared, and you were there.
That was when I knew, this was the first time you ever asked me how I was feeling.
I am glad you did.
Even though it was your way of asking “How are you?” and you expected a “I am well, and you?” from me.
Still, I remember that day more often when ever you ask me “How are you feeling?”
Since then, you always ask.
And I always answered. Sincerely.
