The conversation of a lifetime
As we sit
Spinning words from the air around us
Tension filled
And woven with hints of strength
Every breathe and movement
Recorded
Taken in
Soaked up and filtered through
Glances to the right
To an empty wall with stories untold
To the left
A window, filled with the smell of the world
To each other's eyes
Only to fall back on to simple laps
Too scared of the riled feelings
Overwhelming sense of anticipation
Licking my lips
Savoring the flickers of life
I forget what we are talking about
But we keep talking
The conversation of a lifetime
I don't remember what's been said
But I have the rest of my life to listen.
