I could never understand this bond
that held us together starting when
we were very young. But there was
always the way you kissed me, held
me, your touch and how you looked
at me and the sweet sound of your voice.
Seems only yesterday when in reality
it was more than 50 years ago and
you're still in my thoughts regularly.
You're the only one who has ever
been able to hear the silent words
my lips held secret.
Without a word you hear me,
expressionless you know me,
in dreams I call and wordlessly you answer.
From far away I see you and you
see me, words not required. You
hear me and you know me.
In dreams you answer.
