You Have Taught Me To Make More Eye Contact Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There is a side of me,
You are getting very close to see.
But I am so afraid that part of me,
You will not believe.
And you will come not to appreciate it.
Although the growing of it,
Is slowly being revealed.

'I've already seen that.
I didn't realize you could make it bigger.'

Well...
I am trying.
But you are making it more relaxed,
Whenever we are together.

'Relaxed?
Is that why it's so small?
You shouldn't keep it to yourself.
What is it that I should do...
To make it as big as possible? '

Don't worry.
You are teaching me more about communication.
And the bigger I feel that is growing between us.

'OH! ?
That's the part you're talking about?
Communication? '

YES!
That's the biggest part in any relationship!
Oh...
And where is your mind?

'Well,
I must admit...
You have taught me to make more eye contact.'
