A jingle of bells/

A symphony of violins/

A chorus of singing angels/

That's what it sounded like when he said my name/


Nothing special (to him)/

Not extraordinary (to him)/

Just a conversation (to him)/


Interpretation: Luke is fangirling about the first time Michael said his name. It was just in a conversation don't get ahead of yourself. He just writes that at first then goes back and realizes just writing that is inadequate so he writes more, that's why the two poems are separated. Luke loves the sound of his name in Michael's voice. And Luke's repetition of "(to him)" shows how oblivious Luke is to Michael's feelings for him. Luke thinks Michael simply thought of their exchanges as purely platonic and professional, unlike himself. He thinks of each event as a momentous occasion.
