And I Listen

You blow your nose
Not but a foot away from me
We just stayed up the whole night
Talking Like we use to back in the day
For hours
And you tell me what is on your mind
and i listen
and I listen with all my heart
I notice that i tune everyone else out when they talk
but i always hang on your every word
and you tell me that you don't know
and i listen
and i think
and i think that i've always known
I've always known that you don't know
but that has never stopped me
and you sleep there in the silence
and i listen
and i think
and i hope
and i hope that one day you will know
That you will know exactly what to do
and you never have another doubt about it
and i listen
and i think
and i hope
and i slowly drift to sleep
and i slowly drift to sleep
Listening, Thinking, Hoping
and i dream
and i dream that one day
just one day we will be together
We will be together and happy
and you will know
and i will listen
and we both will think
and we wont need to hope
because we don't need to hope
because we have it
We have it
What we have always been hoping for


Just to let you know, this isn't personal to me...I have a boyfriend I'm not desperate for some guy haha. Give me feedback please!

  1. I really like how personal and genuine this seems, you did a good job of portraying this story and emotion clearly despite the fact that this story isn't one you're actually going through.

    I really like how you pointed out all the cute little quirks and things we do and notice when we like someone.

    I also love the concept, and how you had the things build up (listen, think, hope...)
    I do think that it could use a little work in making it flow a bit better though, and a couple of the lines seem a little bit laboured.

    Overall though this is a really cool piece! Good job! :)
