You say what I need to hear,
which is one of the reasons I love you.
A word,
A look,
A touch,
A feeling that you understand
what I’m feeling and you understand
what I’m wanting and you know that I understand
you in much the same way.
The way
you look
at me
when we go out somewhere, to a party,
or maybe to dinner, where others will see us
and think, “They look happy together.”
And we’ll know that they’re right.
