Saying What I Need

1.  I need you to slow down, sit down, take the time to let me warm up to what I need to say.....it takes me time to get there.
2.  I need you to ask me to be with you.
3.  I need you to see me.
4.  I need you to care about me enough to put aside things that are important to you sometimes.  Not always.  Just sometimes.
5.  I need you to put away your phone.
6.  I need you to understand how wounded I am.  And that I can't explain it all.
7.  I need you to trust me.
8.  I need you to be near me.
9.  I need you to be for me.
10.  I need you to verbalize to me your support and love.

I have needs.  And though I will never say them, I am learning that it's ok to have them, long for them and expect them.
I am important.
Not more important than others...but not less either.
Period.
