I Listen Intently
I hear the guitar music float downstairs
The opening track from our wedding video
Then More Than Words (I remember when we saw them live...)
Can I attune my ear
Can I attune my heart
Will our next conversation mirror this music
I don't know this next track
Maybe none of it is related to me
He won't be aware of how intently I listen
Or how sad I am
I just went to the bottom of the stairs
Called up for him to play something for me
Got first bars of I Hate Everything About You
I presume a joke
Then 'I don't know what you want'
Where do I finish the poem now
He's playing a song I don't know again
And I don't know what to ask for
Ahh Nothing Else Matters
I do like that one
I'm not sure he knows that though
