The magic words
you said that day,
" I think,"
you said,
"I love you."
I became a fool,
walking on air,
floating through my day.
We went to the beach and walked through the sand,
You never took your eyes off me.
I couldn't see through the bliss.
Not until I heard you.
Do you remember silent conference calling?
I was still on the line when you thought I was gone.
I listened to you making plans.
"dinner,"
you said,
"Then back to my place."
I couldn't speak, so I hung up.
I confronted you.
You smiled that smile,
oozing charm,
Gently touched me on the arm.
As the tears fell,
I pulled away.
And to comfort me,
what did you say?
"That's life."
