When you stay and listen
until I finish my story
Instead of turning away
to go about your day

When you shake your head yes
then later on that day
State I never told you this or that
regardless you didn’t want to anyway

When meeting someone new
and I wait to be introduced
But then you all walk off
I can’t help but feel reduced

When it’s time for you to leave
and you know I’ll be all alone
I wait to hear you’re safe and sound
but you don’t even bother to phone

When all I ask of you or anyone that cares
to prevent that sour vexation
Is only to be noticed
and a bit of validation
