you must know by now
that i hang
onto
your
every
word.
that i collect them,
storing them
to recall later.
you must see how
words flow easily
between you and i-
they could even be in foreign tongue
with french songs
or russian greetings.
but if i needed you to hear
what i was saying,
would you be able to?
if i told you that i love you,
would you listen?
