My Angel

I am not sure who you are.
I don’t know why you decided to talk to me.
You listened to me.
You helped me.
You opened my eyes.
My heart.
My mind.
You showed me what was right in front of me.
You pulled me out of the dark alleyway that was my mind into a new part of me I never knew before, it was lighter, clearer.
I thank you dear stranger from the bottom of my heart.
I don’t know who you are but you were like a brother to me.
My Angel in Human form.
