It's you I notice.
You don't always see that I notice.
It's my shell, you see.
Or perhaps you don't.
I've built it up slowly over a long time.
I don't say much, but I notice ...
You!  It's you!

I notice you looking at me.
I notice the expression on your face,
in your eyes, as I work, or play, or sit.
I feel the love you have for me.
I hear the way you talk about me with others.
And I notice,
though I know not why you ever noticed me,
why you see me as you do,
why you love ... Me!
But, I notice!
You!
