A special weekend ...

Why don’t I say something?

I believe I have a finite number of tears to spill
A limit on the number of words this space to fill
Room only enough to spread to the edge
Time only enough to learn
That love is the name of this game

It’s the air that we breathe
It’s the water that we drink
The thoughts we need to think
The light that leads the way
And the hand that holds me firm.

Nothing I can say
Will change the way you feel
Nothing I can say matters
It cannot reveal
What makes your love real

This silence engulfs us both
It takes away the reason for living
The one thing that stops me crumbling
Is knowing what we know
I love you, and always will

When the air stops moving
When the waters don’t flow
When my thoughts stop
That’s when my fragility will show

For now, I am saying nothing
And that says it all.
