Listen to me when I listen, and you will hear what I have to say

I love your passion, I love your vision, I love your style.
You know it all.

Yes, you can talk to me. I will listen.

Talk as much as you want, but hear me when I listen.
Feel me how I listen.

Am I listening with gentleness, sweetness
In ecstasy, surrendered
Am I falling in love?

Am I listening with curiosity
Awe, admiration, attention
Do you have my respect?

Am I listening with joy, excitement
With a desire for us to be together but free
Have you found a friend in me?

Or am I listening with disillusionment
Heartbreak, pain
Am I disappointed in you?

Am I listening with discomfort
Are my eyes fired up by anger
Can you feel my rage?

Or am I listening while I tremble, quiver
Does my body feel threatened
Can you feel that I am afraid?

Talk as much as you want, but hear me when I listen.
Talk as much as you want, but feel me when I listen.

Listen to me when I listen,
and you will hear what I have to say.
