The Mist and the Boulder

It was a night

Like so many before

When we just sat

And tried to talk

But the words were few

And the thoughts too many

And the feelings too

Were just too true

Just too true...

Or at least, that's what I thought.

It was this last night

Like so many before

Where you leaned arms crossed

Against the frame of my door

And you just looked at me

Wordless and sad

Because of the simple truth

Of what would never be

What would never be...

Or at least, so it seamed to me.

That's why last night

Like no night before

As we sat on the stairs

And you placed your fingertips

On each one of my tears

No need to ask me why

No need to answer

No words can fill this soul

The truth we both know well

We both know well...

Or at least, I can only hope.

And so now that it's tonight

Just like the night before

I will sit alone in silence

Not asking what I cannot bear

To hear the answer to

And I know even if my dreams were true

The silence would be a constant veil

And I know if they are but dreams

The silence is a sanctuary for dreams

And so we shall remain silent

Remain silent....

Or at least, I will for now.
