When they first met,
she made sure he spoke first;
made sure he broke that
delicate glass barrier
between lovelorn strangers and
'hello.'
Words held behind her teeth,
expectant lips poised,
but waited to speak,
because it's un-ladylike
to make the first move.
So he did.
It didn't make a difference,
but it made her happy.
When they went out,
she asked him to wear
his nicest black silk shirt
and his nicest
dry-clean-only pants
so if strangers' wandering eyes
fell upon him, he wouldn't leave
a bad impression.
So he did.
It didn't make a difference,
but it made her happy.
When they caressed,
she asked him to hold her
just tight enough
so unwelcome thoughts
lurking about cement city sidewalks
couldn't find their way in.
But not too tight,
otherwise the ones
already trapped inside her
would never find
their way out.
So he did.
It didn't make a difference,
but it made her happy.
When they parted,
she made sure they exchanged
I-love-yous,
because an I-love-you is
held in silken chains,
promising one day
he would return
to her arms.
So he did;
and though it made no difference,
it made her
happy.
