17

A throwback to when Jeff and I were dating, as we celebrate 17 years of marriage today.


The Words

You know me
all too     all well
you know     when
I hide because
you listen      to the
silences          between
you read my face
when I force it to
say nothing     pursue
me when I or
when I almost     run
you worry when I
don't call or if I am
late and I know    even 
if you do not 
say it     because
you show me
and you do not
give up on me     so I
know     and I do too
