The One

Silently

I stood still,

Absorbing it all;

Her presence.

Simplicity.

How the words 

Fell from her lips.

They made no sense.

They had no meaning.

They were simply

Noise.

Lost in her eyes,

Trying not to stare.

Wanting to be

Invisible.

Distracted by her smile.

Vulnerable.

Distant.

So far from here.

A single touch.

Distraction.

The words regained meaning.

Familiar sounds.

Visions.

Her smile.

They were my words,

Written by my hand.

Understanding.

She was the one.

Mysterious.

Wandering.

Curious.

She was the reader.-
