Just listen.....
She said" just listen..."I said" to what?"
"To my heartbeat as it beat the beat of the song of the memory of a failed bet that I thought was the beginning of a relationship and then love me like the cure of cancer."
She said "I have so much questions .. answer the questions of my life with silence."
Just listen
"You don't want a halo and I don't want a saving grace."
So I embrace her pain hard enough so I can feel her pain and understand her completely.
I continued to listen
"You don't need to illuminate my problems and make my wrongs right. Even the sun must let the earth set in darkness at night. I want to be strong and independent, so I can shine on my own. I just need you the be there."
I made myself available like air .. Even present when she didn't notice it .. as the silent foundation of her life. Underestimating my importance.
Obvious to her asthmatic condition
I left
She started gasping for air , started crying out loud silently and thoughts of giving up flooded her mind.. in her struggle she found an inhaler and air re-entered her lungs . Disappointed she was..
Listen
"Support me, be my pulse, invisible to those around me but still real. Real cause I can feel.. sometimes ..I just want to know I can count on you.
Add you like the equation of life. Be my quotient, the sum of my parts, beat with my heart, be in sync with me .. if you missing a beat you will expose our secret."
So I tattooed myself to her hope so i can be in her dreams
Sleep with her so we can share same the same dreams and then seam out souls together.
I stitched myself into the fabric of her fantasies.
Are you listening ?
I answered her with a simple silence
Sending her a silent stare and talking to her with a kiss
"Spoil me with attention I don't need but always wanted and give me space so I can miss you. suture away my wounds and heal me. Stand in the next room and still feel me.
So .. I've watched beyond the lights like Three times in a row and I still can't figure out.... why I liked it so much? Is it because im a romantic and I lift for sappy movies or is it the fact that everything they followed their heart and dreams." Eager to give an input on a rhetorical statement. Finally breaking my silence. I said "I think its your romantic side
She sighed .. shaking her head and said " couldn't you not reply."
Just listen...
