My blood starts to rush
Cheeks starting blush
Heart pounds in thrust
Voice turns to hush
When the story of us
Is spoken on tongues
Of others
I am without you
Just one part of two
Awaiting my cue
And I had no clue
To tell you the truth
But oh now I know
And oh how I know
And I swear I’ll show
You more as we go
But a life lived halfway
Just rambling for days
Words cheaply made
Proudly displayed
But then thrown away
Then discarded
Have caused this drought
This sense of doubt
This shyness I feel
At confession
Because to my dismay
I’ve nothing to say
To give such a weight
As description
Our words are afloat
Carrying me
Weightlessly
Preciously
Simple and real
And to say how I feel
Might sound appealing
Most of the time I want to
But to give our hearts weight
Is to tempt fate
With tying those words to the earth
And earth is to tying
As life is to dying
So though I am trying
Tonight I’m not lying
I’d much rather hear
Soft on my ears
The story of us
On the tongues
Of others
Let them see where we are
Who we were
Where we stand
Let them lament
The precious present
And compare to our past
Let them hope we last
Let them laugh
At our facts
We will unpack
More weight from our backs
And soar to the stars unspoken
Unbroken
And untouched by time
Blurring the lines
Of yours and mine
Doing just fine
Silent
Divine
So stay with me here
In this stratosphere
Where the skies are clear
And the words we hear
From people so dear
To us
Tell stories of lust
Stories of love
Stories of trust
Stories from tongues
Whispered in love
Whispered in hush
Whispered because
They are whispered of us
