They say what’s understood
Is better left unsaid
Constant tremble at the thought
Of you hanging by some thread
Constant reassurance
Needed desperately in my head
They say words are meaningless
Actions sing a song
Like blooming asters in a meadow
No expression is needed
to know where you belong
Smothered in obliviousness
Every answer
Planted upon my lips
Every question
Satisfied with a kiss
Why don’t I let myself fall in simple bliss?
The smile upon your face
Reassures me it’s okay
Your eyes gazing in my direction
Whisper you’ve always been halfway
While at the end of the day
As your body drifts to sleep
Silence holds more beauty than our mouths could ever speak
