The conversation begins
words intertwined
and we find ourselves
in the same predicament of excitement
caught up in the commuication
tornado confusion
of...
polite
I speak-
then-
you speak
and all the listening in between
how kind you were to ask me
making it clear enough so I wouldn't mistake your words for
nervous conversation
"If I come out there,
will it make you more sad when I leave?"
Initially it didn't hit me
the thoughtfulness of your statement
and my answer might not have been totally honest
not by omission
but by lack of immediate comprehension...
and all I keep thinking is
there is no better reason
to take my chances
