The way you say please
in a thousand different ways,
in a million different tones
and for an infinite number of times
is a musical interlude.

Listening to the vocalization
of expectations and desire
into just one word,
the rising and falling
intonations of need
and mindless mutterings
into a drawn out expression
of love.

The many ways you say please
are matched only
by the many ways
the answer is always yes.
