To Listen

You can talk for hours on end about all the things that you love, the things you hate, the ones you might even despise and the things that make you happy when no one else can.

You can talk for hours on end about all the things that you did last week, this week, what you will be doing next week.

You can talk for hours on end about your family, your friends, your dog, all the people you ever met.

You can talk for hours on end about what you think is right and what isn’t and how you think humanity would be at its peak when people finally understand what equality means.

You can talk for hours on end about what you wanted to do with your life when you were a kid; about everything you did, now that you’re an adult.

You can talk for hours on end about all your dreams and wishes, and how no one would ever be able to understand them because no one was ever willing to listen to you.

But I understood.

You just never listened.
