If I hugged you,
would you never let go?
If I kissed you,
would you cherish that moment?
If I reached for your hand,
would you take mine gently?
If I needed a shoulder,
would you let me cry on yours?
If I needed to talk,
would you really listen?
If I needed to scream,
would you do it with me?
If I needed to go,
would you come with me?
If I fell for you,
would you catch me?
or just let me hit the pavement?
things have been easier
without words &
we pretend neither of us care;
we stutter
splutter
laughing and choking
on puns &
when you bend me over nouns
i scream
louder
growl
more fluent.
the words are there waiting to be spoken
me . you . love
my dear, we've been mute
for so long
speak to me.
