Without ever hearing an utterance from your lips
I learn
I explore
I probe
I ask
I hesitate
I enjoy
I’m warmed
I absorb
I love
I ponder
I’m comforted
I try
I hope
I remember
all about you.
I learn
of your patterns.
I explore
your thoughts.
I probe
your ideals.
I ask
silly questions to make you smile like you make me do.
I hesitate
not knowing if I go too far.
l enjoy
being able to see who you are.
I’m warmed
by your simplicity.
I absorb
your emotions into my own.
I love
waiting and wondering for you to answer.
I ponder
our ‘conversations’ afterwards.
I’m comforted
that you feel close enough to me to be vulnerable.
I try
to be always there for you.
I hope
to hear an utterance from your lips
once upon a day.
I remember
what this feels like.
You have become my friend
and I hope I am yours.
Without even hearing an utterance from your lips.
Your words are always heard
even if they are not spoken.
Your words are a loud echo in my mind
that I hope to never forget.
I have heard all that you said to me
and felt even more.
