If I Didn't Like You (ef)

If I didn't like you,
I'd replace your voice
with the ticking of my watch -
held romantically close
to my ear,
covering the meaningless conversation
on my right
with a metronomic awareness
of wasted time in flight -
a comodity
more romantically precious to me
at moments
than you are, my dear.
