Listening Too Intently
I can't see you but I know you are listening, I sense you’re straining to hear my talking, While you speak your words you're refusing to catch my eye, Whilst you're walking faster now, and now have passed me by. I am walking whilst talking to another okay, I know you are still speaking to another and by the way, Who says that I am really listening to you? While I know you are ignoring me: As if that's true. Meanwhile one remark between us afterward, Is enough to send me walking backward, Is enough to discern your hidden secret, I know now why this time we are so ill met... So I gently gratefully softly nearly silently steal away I was never a thief to you and yours, So i'm resolved never to return in case I hurt you again by listening too intently.
