For the first time,
I'm not taking requests.
Today, I'm making them.
I know you didn't ask
But then again, I never did.
From the moment you opened your mouth,
I started collecting all the right words I could say to you
Saving them for the day before
So listen.
Hear me before I go.
Listen to the sound of my voice while i'm breathing, so I know that you understand.
Or that at least I gave you a chance to understand.
Listen for the empty sound that carries everything.
The few words that change everything
Hear me as I am
