We exchanged acquaintances through across the room glances, class clown acts and high school dances.Since graduation I’ve been wondering how you held up stances and smiled even though you felt like nobody gave you chances.

I hear you.

We were never best friends but somehow we were the best of friends that our life paths allowed and If we never get that chance to cross paths again I want you to know..

I hear you.

Their ears weren’t meant for this message. Their eyes couldn’t recognize this type of pain but I want you to know that I can translate screams through smiles. Even when the words never crept between teeth, they hit enamels like grand canyons echoing in depth so know that I really do hear you.

Your type of sweet never deserves that type of sour.

They’ll say you don’t have it but know you own power.

Shoe laces belong tied but never tongues

Let them hear you because a corpse should never have to speak before it sleeps.
