im at a loss for words,
a silent mouth.
nothing but sighs
find their way out.

speechless lounge,
no noises come through
im at a loss for words
but then there's you
you come along with
words of your own.

and you sing as if
the words are songs
sometimes it's short,
sometimes it's long.

you tell me that
my words are safe
im amazed by your
saving grace.

my mouth is still quiet
no words to waste
but you kept trying
again and again.

trying to gain
the space of a friend
you became more than that
in the end.

but sometimes i'm still
lost for words,
every now and then.
