She surprised me when she came home.
I surprised her by being home.
I was organizing the office.
Pandora was playing
Loudly
Through the home sound system.
Some song
From my generation.
"You're home..." she said. There was a tone of slight elation in her voice that she kept to a minimum as best she could.
Her eyes softened in the kind of way that they do when she sees she has my undivided attention. "I thought you worked today."
I told her that this week was my three day weekend week and that I had the day off.
She paused and looked down only to then look up. I struggled as I do sometimes to keep myself from saying "God you've become a profoundly beautiful woman."
Those words haunt me
Because I want to tell her in the worst way
Innocently
With no motive
Just flat-out honesty.
I instead asked her how her day was
Her eyes smiled at my genuine interest
And that was enough for me
And I listened.
