I learned to listen

I learned to listen

I learned to listen

I never knew about your questions

The ways in which you wondered

If what you had to offer

Was good enough indeed

You learned to speak

I never knew you wondered

If I still loved you

If I ever longed for your touch

If you were still enough

For me

You learned to listen

You never knew about my questions

The ways in which I sought

More space, so I could find

What it is I need

I learned to speak

You never knew I wondered

If you still loved me

If you thought I was attractive

If I was still enough

For you

We learned to listen

We learned to speak

We learned to express

What it is

We both need
