In love with a deaf girl



Invisible love

He could not pluck up courage

To ring or tell her

 

Not gutsy enough

To gather her in his arms

That stunning body

 

Routine for others

But he was floored by shyness

And the list went on

 

He grasped at straws

For loving words to stream out

He wasn’t the type

 

Luckily for him

She saw the look in his eyes

So then smiled at him

 

Little did he know

That words meant nothing to her

Signing was enough

  1. Signs of all sorts..deafness of various types..takes one person to break the barriers I suppose..always a story to be found in your words :)

  4. A vivid story, easily understood and related to. Wordles are fun that way, they suggest all kinds of paths to follow until we choose one and do just that,

  5. This is a heartwarming tale. Words will never be as important as what is in the eyes. They tell the real truth.

  7. I really like this. As Belva Rae says, heartwarming, and very romantic without being 'twee'. Well done the Rob!

  9. I hadn't planned on the rearrangement of the word list... I guess they just fell that way. I don't get the early list, as I am not on Facebook, but another friend 'bumps' us the list...maybe they alphabetized them?

    Stories sometimes just tell themselves. I like how sometimes the shy person ends up winning. :)
