Your words crept through the night like silence
urging itself to be something it's not.
You whisper to yourself In the dark
while you think I sleep soundly.
that whisper;
sweeter than a symphony
moved through the air and met my ears.
One barely audible "I love you" soothed every delusion of loneliness
and quelled my insomnia;
like a snake charmer to a hydra.
It broke me down  my very core
and revealed a truth:
you would proclaim your love for me,
even if I couldn't hear you.
