Let Me Tell You That I Love You

Posted by zeno on August 6, 2009

There are a million signs and signals, if only you look. Very few people can mask their true feelings well enough to avoid discovery. I know. I can tell what you are thinking. I can always tell what you are thinking, even when you don’t realise when you are thinking.

I’m not a mind reader; I just notice things, little items that other people gloss over and ignore. I notice small changes in posture, in vocal tautness, in skin colour. I notice changes in surface temperature and in smell. Really tiny changes.

Perhaps the ability to see like that is common, perhaps what is uncommon is being able to read the changes, to analyse and interpret. But I know what the changes mean. Always.

And I am always right. I know when you are angry or frustrated. I know when you don’t like me or when you want to get close to me; when you need to be held and when you need solitude. I know when poetry is touching your soul and I know when nothing short of physical assault will change your mind.

So never imagine I am anything less than intent. Don’t for a second believe I am not aware of your presence in the world, near or far. My senses are so attuned to yours that I would feel a sigh at ten thousand miles.

I know what you are thinking, believe me.
