You

Look at you, look at me
Perfect pair 
But not meant to be
I fear. 
I want you and I’m pretty sure I 
Need you....
The sound of your voice 
Is the first sound I’ve 
heard since being deaf for 
a thousand years. 
Your smile is the first thing 
I’ve seen since being blind for 
a million years. 
And.... 
Just....
you....
I want to talk to you but how?
I just don’t know 
What do you think when you see me?
Yes
No 
Maybe so?
I need answers from 
You.

Hello LiLeigh DIxon, so nice to meet you. If you are deaf a hearing aid will help. If you are blind, you learn to see in a different way. I like this poem. have a nice evening my friend.
