Echo

You do it so masterfully,
At first I don't notice. 
I fall in love with myself
When I talk to you. 

In two years
I know three things about you. 
Your flat stomach,
A sounding board. 

I saw my estranged self
In your eyes
And I fell in love 
With her.

You moved so slowly. 
And when our conversation 
Sounded like an echo
I pushed, because I was hungry. 

I've never seen a chest like that. 
And I've never imagined
The heart so much. 

I fell in love with myself
When I spoke to you
