giving it voice

You never notice when we speak,
what your voice does, do you?
The shift occurs in inches,
a gentle transition
from what the world expects
to who you are when its just us?
I wonder if those who know you best
would even know the sound
that brushes the hair from my eyes,
and lingers a beat longer
than some would count as polite?
Your voice gives me fleece
to ward the night chill,
and your words are not always soft
but i can hear the care in them,
spoken like you do,
giving voice to what we do not speak,
but what i feel like chenille or silk,
or the rasp of velvet on your tongue
when you give it voice.
