The pursuit began from a distance
Words spoken across a crowded room
Your witty, revealing comment turned my head
Your voice was velvety, reaching out to me, drawing me close
Strong but gentle, soft but powerful
Sensing my response you spoke more deeply
Touching places further inside
Arousing my intellect
I leaned in to listen more closely
Eyes wide in anticipation
And your words became more profound
The dance of communication continued
And I opened myself to you
Until you voiced the idea that penetrated my mind
Connecting you to my soul
Your voice probed deeper and deeper still
Until finally... understanding.
