I am reading your wordless affections
              With every twinge of missing you

Like notes on my heartstrings
Like a typewriter on my soul

If you were never silent
          I'd never have searched your soul
                           And loved you so profoundly.

I love your silence because I can hear everything.

You don't have to speak
               I hear you loud and clearly
Your hesitance, your doubts and needs
Your precious crystal heart so prone to
               breaking
Your fear echoeing when the silence is speaking
Your immeasurably beautiful soul worth keeping
               Hidden and untouched

I heard all these things
         And translated your silence into love
              Love, that, with my ceaseless praises,
                                    I will be protecting

Give your silence to me
           Let me exchange them for
                            The most honest words:
                            
My unyielding love for you to keep
                            Safe and eternally

I must speak constantly
               Of my love for you proudly
                              In its truth and honesty

So that you never hear the doubting echoes
               Of your loud soul in its transparent self-reflectivity
               Within the glass walls of your silence
