Appreciation

Outlandish

As I got up this morning
You watched me and hoped I’d talk to you
Even if it was just a few words
Askin’ your opinion
Thankin’ you for something good that happened, Lord
But you noticed I was too busy
Tryin’ to find the right clothes matchin’ with the right shoes
And I ran around the house getting ready
You knew there would be minutes to stop
And say hello, but I still, I were too busy
And at one point, I had to wait doing nuttin’
Then you saw me spring to my feet
Thought I wanted to talk
But I ran to the phone
Called a friend, wassup
Okay, now it’s time for us to talk
So I find an empty room but hesitation is in my heart
A look down the hall, nobody there, so I close the door
Take of my new jacket, man, I can’t put this on the floor
I’m a have this conversation standin’ or my jeans will get dirty
Better yet, I’m a sit on this chair right here ‘cause I feel a bit lazy
Almost forgot to pull the curtains so no one can look in
And just when I’m about to utter you some words
Someone steps in
Embarrassed by the moment
I jump up and come up with some stupid excuse
Like I was looking for something
All while you were watchin’ me patiently
Ready to give more chances with the hope
That eventually at some point
I will speak to you
You give me so much
You wait all day for a nod
A prayer or a thought
A thankful part of my heart
To all my moros back home
All day workin’ hard
Struggling all week
Every dawn standing tall
I know you noticed that before lunch I looked around
I felt embarrassed to talk to you
That is why I didn’t bow my head
Glanced 3 or 4 tables over, saw some of my friends talking to you

But I did not, there is still more time left
Hope that I will talk to you yet, but I went home
And seemed as if I had lots of things to do
After that what is on TV
Suddenly I felt too tired to talk to you
Fell asleep in no time without a thought for you
I know it’s hard to have a one sided conversation
Well, give me some days to try again, and again, and again
Pas
