Precision of Your Act

'You are cold, calculating, vicious and obnoxious.'

REALLY?
You saw me capturing all that?
Wow.
And you...
Are one of the most honest human beings I've met.
Come here...
I need to speak to you.
Do you have time?
Please have a seat.

You are definitely one I can respect and cherish,
For that assessment.
That was great.
I hope you are seeking a best friend?
Are you?

'Well...
Huh? '

Do you know how long I've been searching for your honesty?
THAT kind of honesty?
Please...
Please,
Let me hear those comments again?

'No!
I'm not in the business of repeating.
Nor did I expect the flow of your sincerity.
OR the precision of your 'act'...either!
I am quite surprised myself.
Why? '

You can not make this more exciting.
AND...
You are stubborn too?
Why?
I don't know!
Why is the sky blue?

How do you like your eggs?
Scrambled with green pepper and onion, I bet?
With a side of homefries and baked Italian sausage?

'Yeah, I do!
How did you know that? '

You 'just' put the 'C' in chemistry for me.
And you have found yourself that lover!

'Oh...
And who said I was looking? '

The connected melting of our eyes.
