I felt you vs I feel you

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I felt you' is past tense and implies that the speaker experienced a feeling towards the listener in the past. 'I feel you' is written in the present tense, so it indicates that the speaker currently understands or empathizes with the listener.
