Few Words

Some evening few words pass between us. You may be reading the paper or a new book, And I may be planning a new lesson or writing a poem. These are activities we could do in separate rooms, Yet the void created when we're apart Is too distracting.

Ahh...I like this!! This is exactly the way it is....so often no words need to be said...just knowing someone is there is enough. :)
