It’s Not about the Conversation

It’s not about the conversation

That keeps us entertained

But it’s the way you look at me

That makes me feel sustained

The curve of your lips

And the kink in your hair

All these Little things.

That make me stop and stare

It is not your intelligence

That brought me close to you

It is not your sense of humour

That sends me all askew

It’s the touch of your hand

And the thoughts running in my head

All these Little things.

It’s not when we are talking

That I want to know more

It is not what you teach me

I have what I am looking for

It’s the quality time spent alone

And the time we sit in silence

All these Little things.

It’s not the job we work so hard at

Showing true commitment

It’s not those crazy habits

That give me great pleasure

It is the way you use your hands

And how you use in your leisure

All these Little things.
