*i sit in my room, reading a book in Braille, my fingers running over the page gently. i hear someone entering the room and i wonder if it's you, my best friend that happens to be deaf. so if it is you, you wouldn't even hear me if i call out. i hear someone walking up to me and i recognize your footsteps. i smile warmly as i speak slow Enough for you to read my lips* it's about time you showed up.
