Understanding Words That Aren't There

Everytime that I look into your eyes,
a new story is told.
I gain a little more eachtime,
The stories never seem to get old.

I can tell what you try to say,
before the words appear.
I can tell what you mean,
even when it's so unclear.

I can feel each word you speak,
I know you all too well.
I know each lowercase and capital,
And on what things you dwell.

You send stories through your eyes,
I understand words that aren't there.
Only I know how to read them,
I won't just leave you bare.

If you need a reader,
you know you can scream my name.
I will help you interpret them,
my dear don't feel ashamed.

And if you ever get confused,
and don't know how to tell a story.
Just call me, I'll create an ending,
with you and me, don't worry.

    I love this. When we have someone in our lives that we know this well, and feel this connection with, t is truly special.

    It wasn't just fun to write, it was fun to read. This was a wonderful piece detailing what it's like to be someone's other half. Their interpreter, their confidant, the one they can go to and share their silent screams and echoing laughs. I loved the flow, the imagery, and the way you made it seem so attainable to be there for that other person. Excellent work, keep it up. Ttyl, ~WhatTheMadness
