Talk to me

I talk to you but you don't talk back
I want you to talk to me at night
Talk to me in the morning, during the day
Talk to me happy
Talk to me like you care
I want to be able to call you and we talk all night
To the point that I fall asleep to the sound of your voice
Because out of all the sounds in the world
Your voice is my favorite 
Talk to me like you want to
Talk to me like you mean it 
Talk to me like you need me to breathe 
Talk to me like you want to know me
Talk to me like I’m not always going to be here
Talk to me like you'll die without me
Like you need me to live
Is this just a one way relationship
Or will you talk to me like you need me to always be there 
Talk to me kind
Talk to me sweet
Talk to me like you’re afraid to stop 
Because if you stop I’ll disappear 
Talk to me when you’re sad
Talk to me when you’re mad
Talk to me everyday 
Talk to me like I talk to you
Because that's all that makes me glad 
But even when you won’t talk to me
I’ll always talk to you
Still hoping one day I’ll talk to you
And you’ll talk back to me

Brandee Augustus December 6, 2025 at 3:27 PM Wow! I really love the flow of emotion here. It is compelling and very nice. I don't know if you're in the twelfth grade or it was a memory from that time; but, I can definitely relate to the emotion of this. Brilliant ??!
