Dinner Conversation
We sit to eat, but conversation is on the menu;

catching up on years past.

I am hungry, but the food does not satisfy.

I yearn to know more of you - to know you more.

It is a wonder that I can eat at all - the butterflies occupy en masse.

The years have been good to you;

You are more radiant now than ever.

My heart beats so loudly that I have to talk just to mask the sound

It's almost hard to hear you over the drumming in my chest...

...but I hang on to your every word

and I wonder:

Will there be dessert?
