It’s cool how
when we find lulls in our conversations,
neither of us feel the need to try to fill the spaces;
To rush to be the first to say…something…
We never have those awkward moments
where hasty words crash into each other.
We don’t stumble over silence,
instead simply sinking comfortably into it…
It’s awesome that our interactions
are just so…easy
even though they’re so rare.
And they end so organically,
our chats –
both of us seeming to sense the exact moment
when it’s time for us to drift apart
on our parallel tides
each of us returning back to our own path;
Knowing eventually, maybe even soon
they’ll cross again anyway.
But sometimes,
I’m a little disappointed
when that has to happen.
