When you ask me to listen,
I will listen to you.
I will not interrupt you.
I will not stop you from saying everything you have to say;
You may not want to hear about my feelings.
I will just listen.
I will not judge you.
I will not tell you that you're right or wrong.
You have your own values.
I will just listen.
I will not force my advice on you.
I will not lead you astray with my "misguided wisdom."
Only you know what you have to do.
I will just listen.
I will not feel sorry for you.
You may not want my pity.
I will not cry for you, but with you, and...
I will just listen.
I will not tell you how you should feel.
You have a right to any and all feelings.
I will not deface your feelings' value.
I will just listen.
I will feel your pain, joy, anger and laughter.
I will try to understand.
Not a single word or feeling will go by without my utmost scrutiny.
I will honestly care.
But most importantly...
I will just listen.
