Affirmation

On reading your words

I talk to myself

Strange is it not

This is how, I find myself

With every line read

As if pages of my sighs

Slowly open to reveal

That which within them lies

I hear you discuss

Just about everything there is;

You, me, the world

And its eccentricities

In my mind echoes a phrase

Springing from someplace

Till I find myself stating aloud

“I love that man,” with a calm face
