“And Then Everyone Had to Stay Home” by Antonio Iglesias

What is a thank you?  A you're welcome in waiting? A call and response.

Why do we say thank you? Just to hear you're welcome? A connection with another.

And what if you never say it? What if you can't? Lost for words.

But what if you wanted to? Could you find the words? The right words.

Why did you have to wait so long? Did you wait too long? Days turning into years.

Were you waiting all this time? Did you forget? A simple act.

Would you understand? Did it matter to you? It meant so much to me.

Why did I wait so long? Why not then? A moment in time.

Would you even have said you're welcome? Did I need to thank you? Just another day.

Did I ever say thank you? Does that even matter? You still said you're welcome.

I wish I knew how to say thank you.
