I love how when you visit
You sit on the other couch silently
Reading your book
How every minute or so
I hear the flipping of flimsy
Pages
Sometimes, when I glance at you
I see different emotions passing
Across your face
I love to watch you change position
As you shift your body
Across the sofa
I love how you bury yourself
Into the literature so that you
Don’t even hear me talk
But that’s okay because
Watching you quietly is
All I really need.
