The Silence Speaks a Thousand Whispered Words

When I hear your voice
Nothing else matters;
I can only think of you.

I can barely say a word.

I feel safe knowing you are there;
At the other end of the line.

Always.

You make me forget about everything else,
I am incapable of worry when you are beside me,
The thudding of two catastrophic storms,
Colliding like those spinning tops
You might have watched when you were
Young
And free.

But held tightly in your arms,
That is my paradise,
I am free
So long as I am in your immediate vicinity.

Your words capture me;
But I am willingly silenced by my own sighs
And red cheeks.

And I think of you constantly,
I can no longer do anything
Without thinking about you;
Everything reminds me of you.

And when I do not hear from you;
I miss you so badly,
I cannot eat,
I cannot sleep,
You are everything inside of me,
Everything around me,
All that I see.

I am empty without you;
Without reassurance,
Without your warmth
I am helpless,
Lonely,
Lost.

Lost in a world of faceless masks. 

You are the sky,
You are the beat
That keeps me running through this
Endless forest.

I run because you compel me to keep going.

You are the sky,
You are the warm breeze that picks the leaves from the trees
Spinning them, swerving them high into the air,
Before letting them go,
Dropping so slowly,
Almost hovering above my head.

You are everywhere I go.

The strength in my heart,
The reason,
The inspiration for this-
Never-ending breath-taking

This determination,
This inspiration.

But I cannot explain it in words;
How you effect me;
Knocked into a welcome silence,
Participants: 2.

I long for those three words to escape from your lips;
'I
Love
You'

I'd do anything;
That you know don't you? 

Not easily swayed by the breeze;
Your words sway me endlessly,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Back and forth.

But everything else melts away when you open your mouth
And those words escape your lips.

The grey clouds are meaningless
And easily swept under idle rugs.

And I just hope,
That I can make you feel just as loved as you make me.

You're the only person who's ever made me feel this way..
