Darkness begins to fall <br />But this time I'm not alone <br />This time someone is here <br />This time someone is listening. <br /> <br />Smiling at the phone in my hand <br />I read the message and laugh <br />Smiling to myself as I reply <br />Glad someone is here tonight. <br /> <br />I look forward to each time we talk <br />It's not a crush, just happiness <br />At someone to talk to, <br />Someone to listen. <br /> <br />Everyone else is busy <br />You have time to talk <br />You listen while I ramble on <br />But you say you don't mind. <br /> <br />So glad to have found friendship <br />So nice to have someone to listen <br />As the events in my life unfold <br />Thanks so much for listening. <br /> <br />You make me laugh, <br />You help distract me <br />When I'm upset or irritated <br />You treat me like an equal. <br /> <br />You don't talk down to me <br />You don't tell me to grow up <br />You just are there to listen <br />And it helps a lot. <br /> <br />Thanks so much, I really mean it <br />I look forward to the next time we talk <br />And maybe next time <br />You can talk, and I will listen.<br /><br />Karley Kay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/atleast-someone-listens-for-him/
