a silence.

You once mentioned that a good sign
you're comfortable with someone
is when you can sit in silence
together and feel perfectly at ease.

Nowadays when I am surrounded
by silence, you are with me.
You're in my head and it's out
of my control.

I walked home in silence the
other day and it seemed
you were by my side yet again.

I took each step deliberately
and with purpose. But you were
pulsing through my veins and I
knew not how to get you to
bid farewell.

truth be told:
i never wanted you to.
