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
