He Listened-

All that she had was just her life And the abundance of time She gave him her time And he appreciated it She looked at him, he listened, he listened Everything was fine yet still speaking She breathed around him, he listened The same air they shared H e listened to her every word He listened the approached the ending of day They shared each other's way She was committed to the thought heard, he listened These the things that he said he displayed She trusted him she shared her way Time passes she still there, he listened Still have the way that he looked at her rare His eyes showed he cared She trusted him in her space She reveled in the place They abode together he still yet listens there She was astounded by the way he shared her time He so listened she was in love with him Because he was so giving but the most important thing that was he cared so she remained there WHY? Because HE LISTENED
