Verbal affirmation

we can know it, feel it, see it
but why it is so damn important we have verbal affirmation?
it's there, right in front of us,
but no we need to hear it

are we less if we don't hear it?
are we half, three quarters
no, still whole, still there
and we still feel we need it

someday maybe we wont
but until that day comes we will always feel less
because of that damn thing we need
verbal affirmation
