This immediately made me think of your poem, "Lost Words". I found that same tone and gentleness here... like you are trying to remind this person that they are valid, too. That their echoes have meant something and that it's okay to not always make yourself small for others. There's a meekness in this write, almost timid, and that you write this for reassurance to try to give this person the love they may have often said they aren't deserving of.

This seriously touched my heart. Love your voice in this <3
