Don’t get me wrong

I love it when you engage me intelligently

It’s rare to find those who are able to hold me down in such lines of conversation

So I let you talk

You end up saying so much

But I can only understand so much

Some call it selective hearing

But I’m only I struggling to keep up

Sweetheart, I’m not deaf

I hear you

But I only hear those things I want to hear
… More I only hear what I want to hear
