Dear Miss Turner
You saw when everyone else’s eyes were shut
You noticed when no one else cared
You asked when everyone else was preoccupied
You saw through my mask
You noticed my pain
You asked of my being
And even though
I wasn’t sure of your sight
I didn’t know if should notice
I wouldn’t answer
I see how much it meant
I notice how it held me
I answer with a thank you
And now
I can’t see past my tears
I notice how I can’t breathe
I am willing to answer
I see the beauty in your person even more than before
I notice how nothing but the truth matters at all
I answer with I love you
