Waiting For the Moon to Rise

That voice he has,
when he's very focused,
sort of sleepy-sounding,
eerily calm.


It's my favorite of his voices.


I can't actually concentrate
on what I'm thinking
about or saying when I 
hear it. 


I have actually stopped
mid-sentence before
when he spoke in that voice.


There's a look, too.
It's that one when 
he stands beside me,
looks over and tilts his head
and smiles a certain way.
Gets me every time.


Again, I have become flustered
and probably made a fool
out of myself
when he looks at me like that.


Today he goes
"If you need anything..."


I don't know what part of
anything that was applying to.
But the fact that you say
it is so nice. 


Also,
"You know how much I care about you".
That meant
a lot.
