Predetermined Listener

The words that they speak of their stories
I hear with my two ears
And I listen with my thumping heart
I see the sparks in their eyes as they speak of their favourites
I observe the change in every muscle of their faces as they go about their passion

I hear with my two ears
Listen with my thumping heart
I smile as they describe their favourite moments
I asks questions when it's cued
And
In
My
Head
I wonder

How does it feel like to have someone to hear you?


Maybe it's fated,
Maybe it was written
Either way I'm not complaining
I love listening to their stories
I love experiencing new things through their experiences
But I can't help to wonder
How it would feel like
Had
we
swapped
places


I speak,
You listen.
