tell me something about you 
she says
her head tilted 
her eyes imploring

i divulge my past
my passions
and stories that have led me 
to the couch i am sitting on now
beside her

sometimes i wonder
how you are who you are
she says
i don't have an answer
except that i agree

tell me something amazing 
she says
time has passed
and i am left 
with nothing more to say
anchored in the midst
of unveiled reverence.
