Today - 2/27/2002

Today we talked.
It's not important what was said,
But merely that we talked.
I pretended to be busy with my food
So I wouldn't have to talk,
And could just listen to you.
The sound of your voice
As it flowed over your words
Soothed and stimulated me all at once.
The words you spoke
Were perfectly chose.
I sat and listened,
Drinking you in,
Your face, your hair,
Your eyes, your lips,
Your skin, your body.
So mesmerizing.
But I could never have finished.
Today we talked,
And I lost track of time,
