Call Me More

As I get ready to say goodnight, before the lights go off I whisper words across the room and send them on aloft The words I speak express my love to ears that cannot hear But if you could here's what you would if you were standing near I love your sense of humor, I love the way you talk I love your perseverance, I love it when you walk Into the room and I look up and see you coming in Pretending I don't notice but goosebumps on my skin Emerge and cause my heart to pump, beating out a song To the rhythm of "I love you", and for your love I long I love the way you use your voice, I love it when you call My telephone reveals your name and then I center all My focus on the voice that's on the other end Pretending we're together and so much more than friends There's lots and lots that I can tell, lots more that I can say But this poem is already long, so I will another day
