When you holler my name—
I turn to hear you.
But, sometimes I just can’t hear you.
No matter how much you call on my name.
I just can’t hear you.
I will not turn to hear you.
When you see me, you will wave at me—
I turn to see you.
But, sometimes I just can’t see you.
No matter how much you wave at me.
I just can’t see you.
I will not turn to see you.
You come to me and tap me on the shoulder.
I turn to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ you.
You grab my hand and sign under my palm.
“You’re awesome.”
And you’re my first friend and
my savior of my darkness and silence—
You’re the best present I had ever in years.
Thank you.
