ditto




Ditto.
Two syllables that please me much.
At last a word that can be spoken between us
To express what cannot yet be said.

This could be algebra
Using a variable to hold possible values.
This could be a bridge
Between statement and fact.

I am very happy to be in a relationship with you.
That’s an understatement as you know.
I know about you, too.
You share so much of yourself.

What you do is how you show
Your feelings for me.
You bring out the pictures of your past,
Your dearest memories.

You open your inner life to me.
You speak without words.
I listen. I hear you. My heart is touched.
Me, who lives by words.
