Quiet Love

I love your quiet
I do
Knowing that only I
can make you talk
sigh
reveal your dreams
admit your wants

So tell me, do you want me?
Still?
Are you happy
with where we are?
what we are?
who we are?

I know the answer
when you finally speak
when you finally talk
because you don't waste your words
don't violate your quiet
your comfort
your stability
rests in your quiet
and my comfort
my stability
my wonder at your
masculine perfection
rests in your quiet

I love your quiet
