my piano teacher

my piano lessons
are not going well.
i can see the frustration 
in my
instructor's face.
but she's kind
and gentle as she moves
my hands
across the keys,
saying press like that.
she pushes my knee
towards the pedal
and says, relax,
breathe, you're too stiff.
i nod okay.
she smiles and frowns,
she laughs.
i pay her well though.
this insures that every
tuesday at  7 that she'll
come back.
does she know
i'm falling in love with her,
does she know that yet?
