Sound of Breathing

I won't say anything tonight
I won't send a word—
not even a quiet voice

And no whispers,
no glances—
would that be okay?

You've got my heartbeat—
just listen to it
and fall asleep

But in all honesty—
I still like to hear you
I still like to whisper
I still like to ... you know

Perhaps—
send me the sound
of your breathing

The rise and fall—
that's me and you
