When someone deeply listens to me

When someone deeply listens to me,

I feel that there is a purpose behind what is being said beyond the mere meaning of the words.

When someone deeply listens to me,

I don’t want to waste that gift on senseless chatter,

I want to give back because I am receiving something precious.

When someone deeply listens to me,

I look in her eyes and I smile back.

When someone deeply listens to me,

The desire to be understood fades away, because I realize

That life is not as much about understanding,

as it is about experiencing.

Experiencing something which is coded in our real nature,

But we forgot it when we first opened our eyes.

When someone deeply listens to me,

I want to share more, and talk less.
