Quiet Admiration

We were in touch again recently

Via video conferencing tools

Your voice, older now, blended sweetly with

low latency digital artifacts.

We "caught up" with each other, as they say

I stared and wondered as I always did

If you knew then, knew now, about the way

I felt about you, fifteen years ago.

And still, to this day, I feel drawn to your

beauty which had once been the reason for

my existence, a burst of light in near

darkness. A second birth, a call to arms.

I did nothing with this love. I could not

translate feeling into words or action.

I remained passive, respectful, and yet

it acted, and continues to act, on me.
