I can see it

when they talk

when they glance

when they smile

in secret touch

in whispered words

I can see the truth

I see it in their walk

by each other yes I know

it's a gait they have that I once used

many years ago.

I see it

during crisis

during fights and

during lunch

in every grin

in every laugh and

in every single punch.

I see it in Kirk

but it's there in Spock too

"Lover's glow" the nurses say

I think their gossip must be true.

I ask the two

four words

"Are

you

in

love?"

I receive two

words. "Yes"

and

then

there's

"T'hy'la"
