A simple "Hello"
"How ya doin'?"
a gesture of recognition.

A tap on the shoulder.
An enthusiastic handshake,
a hug.

You wouldn't believe how much it means to me.
How much it's needed.
Just to get through my day
I don't mean to sound conceded.

It's just that rush of energy
I get when I feel included.
when someone says my name.
It gets my spirits going.
I know my day wont be the same.
