Listen

 Listen

Do we ever really listen
will we ever really know,
how that special someone feels
if they never let it show.

Take them by the hand
look deep into their eyes,
ask them to really search
for all the reasons why.

Let them know you'll listen
to all their dark despairs,
hold them in your arms
show them that you care.

And when the tears of regret
begin to fall upon their cheek,
gently wipe their eyes
tell them they're not weak.

Kiss away their sorrows
share with them their pain,
promise you will teach them
how to love and live again.

But, only do this for them
if you mean it from the heart,
for if you are not true
you will tear their world apart.
