Tongues

By Phalanx

We talk more often and I feel less trapped.
There are things I refused to consider, I weigh
Against expectation.
It's in the sound you make when you say yes and
Understand or want to know more.
You're the first person, I've ever met that could
Reassure me without a yes or no.
A man could get lost and finally learn to love himself,
The way you talk.

    I've been in a situation like this. This was short, but you made you point nicely.
