Just after your sharp reply
As if the fire in your core
Flared up past the top of your head.
The intensity makes me take a step back
And I see you pause for a second
To regain control and change your tone
Answering with measured politeness.
Every time we have an exchange like this
I wish that I'd taken the time to read you first
Perhaps I could have said something different
or not said anything at all.
Minutes, hours, days go by.
I wonder if I passed your test?
Do you notice that I notice?
Or do you feel like the only one
Who pays attention?
