please, don't pinch me.

I like this, a lot.

The reminds me somewhat of a Hemmingway story. Nary wasted word, yet conveys the emotions and feelings of the two parties.

I can see the person being spoken to, with a loving look eminating from their eyes, telling how beautiful the loved one is, to them.

Then there is the response, from most of us, thrilled and suprised to be found beautiful.

Great flow, the first line of S2 and S3 pulling their stanzas seamlessly into the whole.

Nice read. Thanks
