hush, they’re watching, reading
between the lines of the words i write,
wondering if they’re for you and of that,
they’d be right.

shh, don’t speak, at least
not yet. not until i collect my thoughts
and find the words to say to you…
words meant to connect

two souls so far apart yet so near
only we didn’t know it. two hearts beating
their lonely rhythms, not knowing what comes next
for there is no rhyme or reason

why we love the ones we love and why
we fall for the ones we fall for. but to hear your voice
whispering in my ear, let me just say with you,
i’ll give you everything you want and more.
