When

When you no longer hurt or are asleep from your medications, we’ll laugh.
When you no longer are thinking about all the things you don’t have, we’ll be rich.
When your visions of all the things that need your attention go away, you’ll see me.
When you stop talking to FaceBook, we’ll get to know each other.
When you stop saying “I love you” and take the time to learn who I am, I’ll believe you.
