I'm a reader

I'm a reader
A reader of hidden footnotes

I read between the lines
I read above them
I read around them
Sometimes I even read the unwritten,
I read your laugh
And that quiver of your lips
The smile lines
Mostly I read your eyes,
And then I read what's not there
The hopefulness of my voice  
I read my intrusive thoughts
I read the readiness of my soul

I'm a reader
I mostly read love letters I never got.
