Description
You know I was there when you crawled out of bed. I eagerly waited for you to say something, but you didn’t. I thought, maybe you’d like to know my opinion, maybe you were grateful for my help yesterday…but you were content on your own. At school, I really thought you were going to say something, I really did. You looked like you were going to bow your head, but than your friend sat down. I guess what you had to say to him was more important. And you remember when you got home and you sat down on the couch. I was so excited! You didn’t have any plans for the evening, save a little bit of homework. So as you sat I waited anxiously, thinking this is going to be it! You sprang to your feet, and I thought to myself, maybe you were going to grab my word and let me talk to you! What a blessing that would be! But no, you didn’t. You were merely grabbing the phone to call up your friends and get the latest dirt on your enemies. I guess you had more important things to say to them too. Once you were done you decided to do some work around the house and finish your schoolwork so you would have the evening free. I thought you were freeing it up for me, but I guess I was wrong. Instead you turned on the TV and watched all the evil in the world, blank-minded, laughing, enjoying yourself. Once upon a time I made you laugh and smile like that…I guess the stars from Hollywood had better things to tell you than my own. Eventually you got tired, told your family goodnight, and headed to bed. I looked back on times you would kneel beside your bed when you were younger, and speak adoring words to me every night. My heart raced as you knelt down, and when your head began to lower I thought that this was my chance…but you were just checking under your mattress for some magazines you didn’t want your parents to see. I guess the pictures within spoke more than the wonders outside your window. Finally, you crawled under the covers, without even a nod towards the Heaven’s, and shut your eyes. You used to shut those deep blue eyes because you wanted to block out the world and bond with me and me alone…but now, you just want to sleep. I guess with all the conversations you’ve had all the day, all the things you saw…I guess with all of that you were just exhausted and forget about me. That’s okay…I know the plans I have for you, and tomorrow will be another day. There’s time to talk to me yet. If nothing else, I can always speak to you through your dreams. Maybe one day, you will talk back…maybe. There’s always hope.
