The Rejected 'Good Listener'

You're a good listener.
That's what he said.
After staying up 'til midnight when I could have been in bed.
A good listener?!
I practically yelled that.
But it was lost on him as we were in chat.
Yes, he said.
You're great to talk to.
I practically cried, but replied, I love you.
Then he said nothing.
He didn't listen in return.
The tears ran down my cheeks I could feel them burn.
A good listener.
That's not what I'd had in mind.
I thought it was romance but then I find,
Nothing.
He's never said another word to me.
I guess a good listener was all I was meant to be.
