&quot;Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don&#039;t matter and those who matter don&#039;t mind.&quot;<br /> ~Dr. Seuss


I like to hear
all those things that you say
the things about love
and though I know there’s no way
that they’re about me
I pretend that today
when I tailed you and trailed you
you noticed.

I like to watch
when you smile and laugh
at jokes that I’ve made
and on my behalf
I know that it’s silly
I can do the math
but I imagine when I watch you
you notice.

I like to think
when you say my name
I like to think
it’s not a game
and I guess it’s true
I’ve only me to blame
for hoping, when I do all you want,
you’ll notice.
