It Speaks in Silence

I cannot wrap you in the folds of my heart, You were already there, Before I met you. I cannot make you promises Of everlasting forever, Because the language of our love Moves quietly In bumps and beats And whispers That reveals itself in the silence when I sleep, Or when you touch your face. I cannot paint myself In a stunning picture To prove the depth of my devotion Because you see me With eyes that know better Than to fall for flashy color Or alluring texture. I cannot grasp To savor the sweetness of your lips Because your beauty Slips through my fingertips And bathes me Endlessly. I cannot take a breath Without feeling you in my bones Because, my love, Were born to grow In the light And in the shadow Together
