There once was a man who fell in love with my voice
We would speak every day
Sometimes up to 10 times
He told me that my voice was so calming and enchanting
I mesmerized him to the point that he could no longer concentrate on his work
This went on for three months until he decided he could no longer bear not seeing me
Both of us jolted with excitement for our appointed rendezvous
We agreed to both wear black pants and a red sweater so it would be easy to recognize each other
Once we arrived at our spot
His back was to me
I eagerly placed my hands over his eyes
Laying a gentle kiss upon his ear as I Whisper “Hello”
With excitement he spun around
To my disappointment seeing the look in his eyes
It was clear to me that he couldn’t see
The me inside myself
All he could see was the color of my skin
The voice on the phone didn’t give away my color
With no words he was gone in the night as if he had never come
No more calls ever came
I wonder who mesmerize’s him now
