In a manner of speaking

But he's not
giving me the words.
But he is
telling me what I want
to know.

He tells me with his eyes
and the way he observes me
when I'm not looking.

I can tell
by the way his eyes
glisten as I turn his way.

By the way
I avoid looking at him
and avoid saying anything.

Nothing
that can be given
in words.

It's against the manner of speaking
you see.
