Hable A Ella

You left "i left someone" for me to read,
and I wrote my rights to you to reply:

1. To "take it right" in my Lionmane pride
__when I synthesize your diction into mine.

2. To speak to you and write to you in
__heiroglyphics and onomatopoeias and colors.

3. To presume nothing when you expose
__yourself to me; both eyes closedIpromise.

4. To shake our words around in conversations
__and call it dancing while lying on the floor.

5. To deceive your reluctance for praise by praying
__words into observations: "Complex. Like you."

6. To love your petnames because "rickrickarack hey child"
__has more slapyourhead honesty than my birthname.

7. To take touch slow, sighing your alrights with every
__advance of my deerly fingertips picking lint.

8. To offer you the patience and calm it seems neither your
__daily interactions nor your own brain have in stock.

9. To stay silent, mosey silent, when in my head I hear
__yelps and yips and yawps of "ILOVEYOUILOVEYOU!"

10. To challenge your originalities and eccentricities, make
__them more your own, and to make you think. Think.

11. To paint your toenails and kiss your forehead the
__next time you say you don't need closeness.
