silence

For us,
Silence was everything.
We didn't fill it with just anything  
Only the most important and
Precious things.
We filled our silence with
Our heartbeats
Our breaths
The sound the rain made outside as it hits the Ground.
We didn't need noise
Or clutter
Or meaningless babble.
We only needed silence.
And in that, we told each other
Everything.
It filled the spaces between us
And between the gaps in our hearts
And around our rib cages
And filled the spaces in our heads where
We didn't know there were spaces before.
Our silence spoke to us
And it revealed our souls.
It revealed us.

Small Moments

Listen

we sit in bed reading
there is a space between us
as we nudge towards the light
transfixed by our own stories
but play footsies under the covers

I turn to him and smile
as his eyes move slowly from his 
page to meet mine
I kiss him like the protagonist kissed 
her prince in the book I'm reading

I want him in that moment
I want our story to be in a book
to be remembered for all the 
small moments we make
in our ever-vast universe of Life.
