Exchanging glances
I could hear him clearly despite his silence
Swallowing my pride,
I spoke first.

Raising our eyes to the sky
we discussed the weather and our plans
pretending like the words, "I miss you" didn't exist.

A great year has passed
challenging us on each side of the globe
far away from the other
but sometimes,
I am sure that our thoughts unite.

In our dreams, and in reality
we will continue to
exchange loud glances
without saying the proper words.
