i know it's you

the number,
unknown, blocked from view,
private
or restricted,
but
i know it's you, i can
tell by
your heavy
breathing,
i can hear your fingernails
tapping
against your desk,
your shoes,
rattling beneath it.
i can smell the perfume
on your neck,
hear
the ticking of
your heart, the blinking
of your lashes
against your brown eyes.
in the silence, 
i hear
every word
you've ever said. yes dear,
i know it's you.
