What if you told me not to speak to you again?
Well if I had something to say,
I would have found another way.
I would write you a letter,
Have it sent out the next day.
If you don't answer,
I'll know you threw it away.
I would send a friend to tell you.
If he hangs his head and walks away,
I'll know you slammed the door in his face.
I would hire a skywriter to put my words in the clouds.
If you didn't call,
I would know you didn't go outside that day.
If all else fails,
I would learn sign language,
Show up on your doorstep and sign
"You told me not to speak to you again."
