Is This About Me?

Sometimes the words I write say it much better than I could ever say them out loud.

Is this about me
she asked not so sure
her words ran with doubt
partial fear and unsure.
Of course it's for you
I replied with a grin
who else do I love
and share feelings within.
But I really didn't know
she started to quip
I read the words here
not heard from your lips.
Of course you are right
I said somewhat shy
I write things much better
than say eye to eye.
She said this is true
I need words to be said
I need more to absorb
these things from your head.
Well how about this
I asked very proud
I write them down first
then read them aloud.
That would be great
But I know from the past
You make these sure plans
And they really won't last.
Then how about this
I had finally said
my next poem will show
these thoughts from YOUR head.
That would be nice
she said with a grin
but if you wont say the words
let me start over again.
Fantastic poem.
