for some strange reason
i thought that talking to you
was some great act
and i wasn't good enough to do it

but then i said something
without really meaning to
and you said something back
we exchanged words
i said something
and you said something back

then i realized that
i could talk to you

that it didn't have to be some profound thing
i had been planning on saying
for weeks

i realized that
you are just a normal person
not some god or anything
that i was just as good as you

i had this realization a few weeks ago,
but i still find it amazing
that i can talk to you
and you will talk back
