I notice..

I notice how your smile lights up your face.
I notice a softness of the honest kind..
I notice how different from normal my observation is ....

I notice how hardships have made you stronger
I notice how you possess a silent inner confidence
I notice how you are proud of what you have achieved

I notice how generous you can be even when that generosity isn't reciprocated.
I notice how different our lives have been and how different we are because of this.
I notice how our differences could be positive.

I notice how things are changing..
I notice how equations with people are now different
I notice how you don't voice this increasing dis-comfort...

I notice how when things have been asked.. no solid answers have been received
I notice how those answers have been lost in interpretation-deliberately
And I notice how this seems acceptable.

I marvel at how ..while we don't acknowledge it... we're thinking it...
