Quietly You
you’re so quiet,
it’s so quiet when you come,
around here,
sometimes worried that you’ll leave me,
nowhere,
or here on the lounge,
not sure if there’s a difference,
be gentle yeah,
be,
gentle now,
the space between my heart’s,
beats,
gets,
smaller,
and i breathe a breath,
a little faster,
now,
the questions aren’t, isn’t,
if or how,
no what’s,
or when’s
cause it’s here and now,
and i look at your eyes for a clue
and your mouth for a sound,
do you, want to be,
around?,
i’m not sure if i care if you do or don’t,
because right,
right now,
you and i is what we’ve seemed to have found,
so plant a seed in my chest,
and look at me, like i look at you,
i think that’s all i really need,
right now, all you really need to do,
what do you think?,
is there something that you think you’ve got to prove?,
