Painting With Words

Silent Words

I closed my mouth and spoke to you with a thousand silent words.

I closed my eyes and looked at you like a voice yet unheard.

I sat so close, I swear I felt your heat so near to me.

I sat so close, I could hear your breath as clear as can be.

You held me tight, for hours at a time.

You held me near, my heartbeat couldn't resist not to climb.

I swore to myself, never to fall again.

And yet here we are.
