When My Silence Speaks
i saw something beautiful the other day
and it made me think of you.
but i don't have the words to describe it.
perhaps if i knew another language
or could place my memories in your head,
you would understand
what words cannot express
and what language can only hide.
i saw something precious the other day,
but verbs and nouns would only shatter
this fragile thing,
so i hold it close to my heart,
wishing i could share it with you,
hoping you will understand
what keeps me silent
when you are near me.
and it made me think of you.
but i don't have the words to describe it.
perhaps if i knew another language
or could place my memories in your head,
you would understand
what words cannot express
and what language can only hide.
i saw something precious the other day,
but verbs and nouns would only shatter
this fragile thing,
so i hold it close to my heart,
wishing i could share it with you,
hoping you will understand
what keeps me silent
when you are near me.
