I know silence claimed our tomorrows.
But if the world ceased its dancing spin,
You would find me in the perfect hush,
And let your heartbeat teach me to listen.
I know secrets gently pulled our seams.
But if oceans rose in rebellion,
You would answer through the salty mist,
And teach my lungs the seas lost grace.
I know our brokenness will never mend.
But if the storms devoured the open sky
You would draw me close during the chaos
And let the wild rain flood my tongue.
I know our paths no longer run as one.
But if the Sun abandoned its golden fire
You would lift my eyes amid dying light
And show the stars their quiet choir.
I know our memories became ghosts.
But if gravity abruptly gave way,
You would wrap the absence round my fear
And hold me as the light turned blinding.
