Close Your Eyes and Listen



He asked me to sit on his bed,  my dad, the night I nearly lost my virginity. He closed the door behind him,  turned the light off,  and sat beside me saying "I want you to listen to something", and pushed the play button on  the tape recorder. 
I recognised the song at once . "I know Riders on the Storm papa" I protested,  impatient to nearly lose my virginity. He made me shut up at once. "I said really listen. Close your eyes."
I did as I was told, in a hurry  to go and spend my first night with a boy.
That night the boy left me hanging but my father gave me the most precious present of all.

I realise tonight I had forgotten how to listen, really listen, for far too long. Time to press the play button

PS - thank you "firend", for helping me really listen again. Isn't it amazing? as of 2024 we were 8.2 billion human beings in this planet but you decided to get soaked just to meet me.
