Her name is Tiffany

By Razor-kissed-wrists

I was hospitalized
For suicidal thoughts
It was her last shift with me
After three nights in a row
I grew to like her
She was my night nurse
She treated me like I mattered
Listened to all I had to say
I don't care if it was her job
I loved how she asked
If I was okay
She had a simple beauty
On her understanding face
I could see the pain in her eyes
As I told her about my life
She made my stay so much better
I don't know if I'll ever see her again
Because

It's her last shift with me
She's my night nurse
and her name is Tiffany

This is someone who I didn't know, and she didn't know me but we took the time to get to know each other. She was really great and the main reason I didn't want to leave that god awful place

    Sometimes we find people who such ability to hear and understand that it surpasses their job position. It might be her job but she wanted to listen, that's what is most important. And the fact that you didn't forget that person, it tells us good things about you too.
