We held each other

In unconditional warmth

Until the stars turned blue

And the silence repeats

(I love you)

Our words became familiar

As they danced with one another

In scattered sentences

Of stories we someday wish to live again

Of stories that begin with you

(And never end)

My eyes search for yours

In seas of strangers

Foaming oceans of anonymous faces

I know you're always lingering at the shore

As the waves cascade

(As the years pour)

Quiet evenings

Inside your head

I forever look forward

to your resting adoration

To each little bit of you

That I cling to like glue

(I love you)
