Silence
Was my reply
When you told me you loved me.
Time stood still for us two
As I pondered on the thought
Of being deceitful
Or being true.
You on the revelation
That maybe--
Or perhaps
What I felt for you
Was temporary.
Not a word came out of our mouths
And my silence echoed through our heads
As finally you realized
Just what my silence meant.

Was temporary.
Not a word came out of our mouths
And my silence echoed through our heads
As finally you realized
Just what my silence meant.
