The Silence Between Us

A dedication to a friend and her situation...

The silence between us,

    The glances with no words,

        The stares from across the room;

 

Oh,

    How hard it is,

        How burning the desire,

            How strong the need.

 

As our eyes make contact

    As the sparks begin to ignite

        As my heart starts to pound....

 

I remember,

   I remember the promises we made.

      The promises we must keep!

 

Although we are joined,

      Joined by a love so deep and true

The nights must always be cold,

        And lonely too,

 For there is nothing,

        Nothing left that we can do.

 

I am with another

      Although my heart is with you

For you,

      There is nothing I wouldn't so.

 

You are living your life,

    And I am too... 

       Being what we  want to be,

            Doing all we want to do.

 

Life,

       My life seems an eternity.

Day after day,

        I long for what should truly be!

 

We both know

    In your arms

        Is my destiny.
