There was a moment, yesterday.
Your breath caught, my stomach
Twirled like a leaf in the breeze.
We struggled to find the words;
Fought to make it known.
A muttered goodbye and the need
For time and space. Underneath,
Our only need is each other. Time.
It heals all wounds; mine only seem
Deeper.
Unanswered and unasked;
The questions that we daren't know.
Let alone voice. The mighty silences
That make my ears ring. That make
My heart pine.
Before, a comfort that was as present,
As you or I. The unspoken truth,
Gentle as that first touch.
The first moment, when -
Your breath caught.
My stomach twirled.
The last moment.
