Content

You agonize over what to say to me.
You wonder if you said it just right.
Did I get the wrong impression?
Did I turn my head and look away
from the phone
As if you were here.
I smile at your dismay
Because it matters little
What you say.
The sound of your voice
Is enough to make me happy.
You needn't worry about content.
You could recite the stock market quotes
And I would feel the flush of pleasure
On my cheek.
It's not so important how you speak to me...
As how often.
