Until Proven Otherwise
by Stephanie Spoerr
If I hadn't walked up to chat;
Would you've even noticed-
Noticed me walk by
Or follow me to talk?
If I didn't write yesterday;
Would you've been there-
There waiting for a letter
Or waiting with a letter?
If I don't call tonight;
Will you sit by the phone-
Waiting for it to ring
Or debating to call?
If tomorrow I don't come find you;
Would you be standing around-
Wondering where I was
Or where to find me?
And if I wasn't asking these questions;
Would you even truly try;
Try to tell me how you feel
Or would this day be like yesterday?
You say that I have no idea;
And have never spoken a more truth-
For I know nothing of my existance
It is truly great or small?
I have no idea if I matter;
Have you made it plain-
That you love me, hate me
Or plain just don't care?
You say that I think some crazy things;
Does it even matter though-
My answers are what I have concluded
And who has proven otherwise?
